Any help from members on how to update even manually

Would also appreciate to see an update to Varnish version.

+1 here. Any ETA about update here?

Varnish 6.4 is already incorporated in centos 8: https://forum.mysterydata.com/topic/48/cwp-and-centos-8/8

Varnish 6.4 is already incorporated in centos 8: https://forum.mysterydata.com/topic/48/cwp-and-centos-8/8

But CWP is still using CentOS7, right?

They already have available the option of centos 8, we have customers with CWP and centos 8, all of them have varnish 6.4.

Varnish 6.6 has been out for 4 months now.

I'm just curious how you can override the os= to say centos for the rebuild script for doing Nginx & Varnish & Apache rebuild.

Currently this is on an AlmaLinux box, and of course sending that OS name stops everything currently.

Thanks.

As far as I understand no one from the support team is mentioning the Centos 7 CWP and the update of Varnish Cache in this version. they stick with the "Centos 8 has already incorporated" please can you post a guideline what is the correct procedure to update the Varnish Cache on Centos 7 distro?
