After brew install varnish I would like to chenge some options in config file for example DAEMON_OPTS unfortunetlly I can't find this file. In linux it is in folders:
Ubuntu: /etc/default/varnish
CentOS 6.x: /etc/sysconfig/varnish
CentOS 7.x: /etc/varnish/varnish.params
Where can I find it on OSX?
I am not familiar with the varnish package myself, but if you run:
brew info varnish
it tells you a load of ancillary info, and amongst that, it tells you how to manually start it and reveals the config file location:
/usr/local/sbin/varnishd -n /usr/local/var/varnish -f /usr/local/etc/varnish/default.vcl -s malloc,1G -T 127.0.0.1:2000 -a 0.0.0.0:8080 -F
So, I assume the file you are looking for is:
/usr/local/etc/varnish/default.vcl
Note that brew info varnish (as shown above) doesn’t require you to have that package installed.
If you do have it installed, you can use the following to see all the files belonging to that package, and thereby find the config file:
brew ls varnish
Note that brew info varnish doesn't always tell you all files, to be maximally sure of getting a complete list of files associated with a package, use the -verbose flag:
brew ls varnish -verbose

When macOS starts daemons via launchd and launchctl it generally uses a plist file to configure the options with which daemons should be started, so you may actually be looking for this file for setting daemon options:
/usr/local/Cellar/varnish/5.2.1/homebrew.mxcl.varnish.plist
which looks like this:
