@ruben_varnish - this is great ! thanks.

I think it would be great if varnish had an official repo with different configuration templates for different stacks that could be used as "drop-in".

For example, my question about a fairly basic Rails config (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8431927) had a couple of different answers disagreeing about stuff.

Also, things like SSL termination are something that the documentation skips over entirely - I understand completely that Varnish does not implement it, but Varnish necessitates the introduction of certain other players in the stack, which it should document.

For example, a canonical example of varnish setup as Nginx (SSL termination) -> Varnish -> Nginx (reverse proxy) -> App would be very useful.
