The docker-compose.yml file allows you to run Shields with Varnish as cache server. This should increase Shields' performance and should generally reduce the server load.

# Clone this repo
# Adapt docker-compose.yml for your needs (e.g. INFOSITE)
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose logs -f

docker run -d --name shields -p 80:80 \
    -e INFOSITE="http://shields.example.com" \
    beevelop/shields

• GH_CLIENT_ID (default: null)
• GH_CLIENT_SECRET (default:null)
• INFOSITE (default: "http://shields.io")

Attention: You should definitely specify the GH_CLIENT_* variables to prevent reaching the request quota of 60 req / hour
