It's varnishreload, but for the Varnish Controller.

This script aims to simplify automated VCL deployments through the Varnish Controller API. Create dedicated or shared deployments and keep them updated by running the script from your machine, a GitHub Action, or any other deployment pipeline.

vclireload [options] 

Options:

• -g: VCL Group name (Default: vclireload)
• -m: Main VCL name (Default: main.vcl)
• -t: Tag(s) (Default: vclireload)
• -d: Domain(s) (Default: none)
• -p: VCL directory/file path(s) (Default: cwd)

Examples:

# Deploy a single VCL vclireload -p /tmp/vcl/example.vcl # Deploy all VCLs from a directory vclireload -p /tmp/vcl -m example.vcl # Customize the deployment vclireload -p /tmp/vcl -m example.vcl -g example -t tag1,tag2 -d example.com,test.com

Given the following directory structure:

/tmp/vcl ├── main.vcl └── utils.vcl

Running vclireload -p /tmp/vcl we get the following output:

Reloading root VCL Group vclireload (Main VCL: main.vcl, VCL Paths: /tmp/vcl, Tags: vclireload) Configuration saved to: /home/alve/.vcli.yml Login successful. Adding File /tmp/vcl/main.vcl Success: File main.vcl has id 77 Adding File /tmp/vcl/utils.vcl Success: File utils.vcl has id 78 Success: Tag vclireload has id 6 Adding Deployment vclireload_dc (--tags 6 --max 128) Success: Deployment vclireload_dc has id 30 Selecting root deployment type Adding VCL Group vclireload (--dep 30 --vcl 77 --inc 78 --root) Success: VCL Group vclireload has id 30 Compiling VCL Group vclireload (id: 30) Success: VCL Group vclireload compiled Deploying VCL Group vclireload (id: 30) Success: VCL Group vclireload deployed 

All files in /tmp/vcl (with the.vcl extension) are added to the Controller, and a VCL Group called vclireload is created and deployed. Because no domains were defined with -d, a root deployment is selected.

When this script is run for the first time, you will be prompted for an API-GW endpoint, a username and a password. To avoid this prompt, you can instead set the following environment variables:

VARNISH_CONTROLLER_CLI_USERNAME=<username> VARNISH_CONTROLLER_CLI_PASSWORD=<password> VARNISH_CONTROLLER_CLI_ENDPOINT=<endpoint> 

This tool needs varnish-controller-cli and jq to be installed locally.

Tested to work with version 6.3.2 of the Varnish Controller.
