  middlewares:
   my-cache:
      plugin:
        cache:
          path: /some/path/to/cache/dir

Options

Path (path)

The base path that files will be created under. This must be a valid existing filesystem path.

Max Expiry (maxExpiry)

Default: 300

The maximum number of seconds a response can be cached for. The actual cache time will always be lower or equal to this.

Cleanup (cleanup)

Default: 600

The number of seconds to wait between cache cleanup runs.

Add Status Header (addStatusHeader)

This determines if the cache status header Cache-Status will be added to the response headers. This header can have the value hit, miss or error.
