Varnish Documentation¶
The official documentation contains a install guide, a tutorial and a reference.
We’re trying to keep the official documentation in sync with the code. Both are kept in same source repository and both are available online:
- Documentation for the latest release 6.5
- Documentation for the previous release 6.4
- Documentation for the deprecated release 6.3
- Documentation for the deprecated release 6.2
- Documentation for the deprecated release 6.1
- Documentation for the supported (LTS) release 6.0
- Documentation for the deprecated release 5.2
- Documentation for the deprecated release 5.1
- Documentation for the deprecated release 4.1
- Documentation for the deprecated release 4.0
- Documentation for old version 3.0 (unsupported)
- Documentation for older version 2.1 (unsupported)
- Documentation for the current development version (git master)
For the historically inclined, Archive.org has a complete copy of the old Trac Wiki.

A comprehensive user guide for System Administrators and Web Developers in book format provided by Varnish Software:
- Online Reference Guide for the current stable release (4.0)
