Eric,
The way I'm reading this dockerfile, you're using the official debian 8
(already compiled) varnish package?
Perhaps a bit off-topic, but it's generally a good approach to build
from source -- and using a build system to allow quick distribution of
alternate versions (such as running a specific commit/release). So I
think building from source does make sense.
Docker plays very nicely here with with flexible version-tagging of
images and 1.9 supports build arguments. Also helpful to offer more base
images, and recommend alpine:latest as a lightweight alternative to
debian:jessie (haven't personally compiled varnish on busybox/musl,
although 4.1.0 exists as an alpine package).

This is great to hear! I've put together a quick Dockerfile
<https://gist.github.com/ericandrewlewis/20d531d190d71e92f3b6> that
uses Debian packages to install the latest stable (4.0.3). On top of
this, I was able to install the example module
<https://github.com/varnish/libvmod-example> with ease.
However, other Varnish modules can't be built so easily on 4.0 yet
<https://github.com/Dridi/libvmod-querystring/issues/16>. Module
authors need to update their modules to build from the Varnish
installation with 4.0 instead of from source. Perhaps we could reach
out to the VMOD developer community about this.
Until there's more support for this in modules, installing Varnish
from source seems like the best default, so users don't get burned.

That's true of Varnish 3.x, but not since 4.0 -- VMODs are now built
against a Varnish installation, which has all of the necessary headers
and libs. It should be enough just to have pkg-config return the
correct information for 'varnishapi', which will be the case without
further intervention in a default Varnish installation.
Not a big deal, since the Docker containers will presumably be for
specific versions. It's just for the 4.x containers, the sources won't
be necessary, at least not for building VMODs.
Best,
Geoff
