Comment lines 11 to 17 (or adjust and remove pub for Magento > 2.4)
Line 22 add Docker Network IP (can be found via #ifconfig). e.g. “172.17.0.1”/24;
Also add “127.0.0.1”;
create a directory /etc/varnish/conf with root.
Add your default.vcl there (or name it otherwhise).

create varnish container from ssh with: docker run –name=VarnishXYZ -v /etc/varnish/conf:/etc/varnish/ -p 127.0.0.1:someport:80 “varnish/versionNo” once installed and started, stop it (docker ps shows id’s of containers).

go to plesk and set “Automatic start after system reboot” to yes for container.

create firewall rule Allow incoming from 172.17.0.1/24 on port 7080/tcp then go to docker proxy rule in domain and add it go check magento frontend
