Varnish 5.0 is here! about ansible-role-varnish

[geerlingguy]

It looks like it's not yet in the repos (only available from source builds):

• https://repo.varnish-cache.org/redhat/ — no 5.x package available yet.
• http://repo.varnish-cache.org/ubuntu/dists/trusty/InRelease - no 5.x package available yet.

See: varnishcache/pkg-varnish-cache#45

Apparently for 5.x, there's a new directory structure: https://repo.varnish-cache.org/pkg/5.0.0/

[geerlingguy]

Got it working on CentOS 6/7:

$ sudo docker exec --tty "$(cat ${container_id})" env TERM=xterm varnishd -V
varnishd (varnish-5.0.0 revision 99d036f)

And on Ubuntu 16/14:

$ sudo docker exec --tty "$(cat ${container_id})" env TERM=xterm varnishd -V
varnishd (varnish-5.0.0 revision 99d036f)
Copyright (c) 2006 Verdens Gang AS

And Debian 8:

0.09s$ sudo docker exec --tty "$(cat ${container_id})" env TERM=xterm varnishd -V
varnishd (varnish-5.0.0 revision 99d036f)

Now, the trick is to be able to support both 4.x and 5.x at the same time. I'll have to have two sets of install tasks for both RedHat and Debian unless and until Varnish adds back in normal yum/apt repos...

[geerlingguy]

Looks like there is a repo now... https://packagecloud.io/varnishcache/varnish5#readme-scrollto

[mathieumd]

It seems that starting with 5.0, the official repo is now at packagecloud.io, for both Debian and RHEL.

Something like that should do it for the bare installation on Debian:

- name: Add packagecloud.io apt key.
  apt_key:
    url: https://packagecloud.io/varnishcache/varnish5/gpgkey
    state: present
  when: ansible_distribution_release != "xenial" and varnish_version|int >= 5

- name: Add Varnish apt repository.
  apt_repository:
    repo: "deb https://repo.varnish-cache.org/{{ ansible_distribution | lower }}/ {{ ansible_distribution_release }} varnish-{{ varnish_version }}"
    state: present
  when: ansible_distribution_release != "xenial" and varnish_version|int < 5

- name: Add Varnish 5+ apt repository.
  apt_repository:
    repo: "deb https://packagecloud.io/varnishcache/varnish5/{{ ansible_distribution | lower }}/ {{ ansible_distribution_release }} main"
    state: present
  when: ansible_distribution_release != "xenial" and varnish_version|int >= 5

Tested and validated for debian8 with your (very nice) test.sh.

Ugh, still bumping into annoying issues, now with Debian 9: varnishcache/pkg-varnish-cache#78

[geerlingguy]

I'm just about ready to push up a branch based off @mathieumd's earlier work, that allows any version to be set for either RHEL, Ubuntu, or Debian. However, I won't be able to add Debian 9 support until the issue above is fixed :(
