It's possible but for now we are planning to focus on improving the current implementations for nginx and openlitespeed to give you an alternative to commercial litespeed where full page caching at a web server level is required.

Adam any eta on NGINX fix?

Adam

Nginx rewrite compatibility issues with certain themes/plugins will be investigated after the 9.5.0 release is out.

Adam when 9.5 out?

Adam

ASAP, we're just resolving some minor issues with the new LetsEncrypt implementation. It's likely to be early next week now.

+1 for varnish would be nice if ots posible to be server role so that we can have dedicated servers for varnish 😉

DracoBlue

Is there already a planned implementation date?

Adam

Varnish support is not currently planned for development. Demand for this feature is very low and I can't see any benefit when there are already 3 web server choices with full page caching ability.

Adam Curious if fastcgi caching is supported with nginx yet or if it soon will be?

Adam

It is.

Varnish caching is something that isn't a "standard" in the retail hosting sector, so for mass hosting varnish won't be used.
For example; when you have a wordpress website (one of the mainstream website CMS) it needs additional rules to work with varnish.

It could be amazing if enhance gives the option to toggle a varnish caching proxy, you could run varnish in a seperate "custom" container and this way you could at least give 1 or maybe more websites access to varnish. (as long as enhance doesn't need to handle varnish configurations)

Just my thoughts 🙂

The choice between Varnish cache and FastCGI depends on your specific requirements. Varnish is a powerful caching solution that sits in front of the web server, while FastCGI is a protocol for communication between a web server and external applications.
