I cannot find a simple way to install Varnish 4.1 on Debian Jessie i686 through command line. This is an OpenVZ VPS.

apt-get install varnish

only installs 4.0.2 and upgrade and dist-upgrade do not affect it.

Using the quick and manual installation instructions for 4.1 do not work either. I uninstalled and autoremoved varnish 4.0.2, then followed this step by step https://packagecloud.io/varnishcache/varnish41/install#manual-deb.

It didn't actually install anything because varnishd -V says it does not exist. apt-get install varnish just installs the 4.0.2 version again.

Every other tutorial I visit is using "repo.varnish-cache.org" which is defunct or says that the tutorial doesn't work for i686 version of Debian.

I only mess around on this VPS once in a while so I'm a bit of a newbie with Linux commands and need really clear documentation.

Try the automated way: https://packagecloud.io/varnishcache/varnish41/install#bash-deb

curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/varnishcache/varnish41/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
apt-get install -y varnish

just tested it in a fresh docker container, works beautifully
