Also read Wordpress Nginx Auto Installer (WP Super Cache) which is more outline for 123.08stable which had much more wp plugins installed by default than 123.09beta01.

123.09beta01 has a new various WPPLUGINS_ALL='n' to disable all those extra wp plugins 123.08stable installs by default due to user feedback and request. If you enable WPPLUGINS_ALL='y' in persistent config file /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc, you enable the plugins listed at centminmod/wpsetup.inc at 15f1b75657c3a4a2b90aa02d70ee8be879c20fc5 · centminmod/centminmod · GitHub

Both do rate limiting of certain requests to xmlrpc.php and wp-login.php and optional password protection for wp-login.php in 123.09beta01. In 123.08stable password protected wp-login.php is forced

if you use 123.09beta01's centmin.sh menu option 22 and select redis cache option, centmin mod will automatically install redis server as per 1st post outlined at https://community.centminmod.com/threads/how-to-install-redis-server-on-centmin-mod-lemp-stack.4546/

or you can manually install it as 1st post outlined at https://community.centminmod.com/threads/how-to-install-redis-server-on-centmin-mod-lemp-stack.4546/

As to varnish that is solely up to you to install and config so you need to know how to install and configure Varnish Cache i.e. https://community.centminmod.com/threads/varnish-cache-5-1-install.10976/

 

have to clarify what you mean by redis usage from https://community.centminmod.com/threads/how-to-install-redis-server-on-centmin-mod-lemp-stack.4546/ there's 2 ways to use redis server

1. via redis object wordpress plugin cache which requires unique defined redis database number from 0-15 set in wp-config.php - recommended not to install redis object plugin as you may have problems with admin backend settings changes not taking affect immediately i.e. redis database = 7

Code (Text):

define('WP_REDIS_DATABASE', 7);

2. redis cache at nginx level which shouldn't have problems as the the cache set key used is includes the $host and $request_uri to differentiate cache entries

Code (Text):

set $key "nginx-cache:$scheme$request_method$host$request_uri";
