docker-entrypoint.sh

• At entrypoint, if it does not exist, a Varnish Agent secret file is created in /usr/local/etc/varnish/agent_secret in the format $VARNISH_AGENT_USER:$VARNISH_AGENT_PASSWORD. By default, that will be admin:admin
• Once the container has fully started up, the Varnish Agent / Varnish Dashboard frontend will be ready, and accessible via basic authentication.
