Varnish and Docker

[Lewis, Eric]

Hey,

we have recently open sourced a Dockerfile for creating a Varnish image,
available in a GitHub repo <https://github.com/newsdev/docker-varnish> as
well as in a Docker Hub repository
<https://hub.docker.com/r/newsdev/varnish/>.

I'd like to solicit feedback from you and invite the Varnish community to
contribute to this effort.

Most Dockerfiles install Varnish via a linux package manager, which makes
it impossible to install VMODs because they need to be compiled against
Varnish source. This image installs Varnish from source, and has
straight-forward instructions and boilerplate for installing a VMOD.

Not so far down the road, we can make a proposal to the Docker community to
create an official repository
<https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/official_repos/#how-do-i-create-a-new-official-repository>
for Docker. This would be a great step forward for easing Varnish adoption
in this area.

Thanks,
