Purge varnish(4) cache

varnish

How purge all cached pages on a v4 varnish server ? I found this in documentation but how apply the vcl_recv command ?

return(purge) will only purge the hash associated with the request object as it currently stands. What you're describing is a full cache clear. The easiest way to do that is simply to restart Varnish. Failing that, you can also use varnishadm to ban out all URLs, or write a bit of VCL (see https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/users-guide/purging.html) to allow you to do the cache clear via a Web request.

Something like this could work:

error_page 418 = @purgepass;

location / {
    if ($request_method = PURGE ) {
        return 418;
    }
}

location @purgepass {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
}

Not tested, but in theory it should work.
