docker-clamav

Dockerized open source antivirus daemons for use with

• file sharing containers like Nextcloud or
• to use it via a REST proxy like @solita made clamav-rest or
• to directly connect to clamav via TCP port 3310

ClamAV daemon as a Docker image. It builds with a current virus database and runs freshclam in the background constantly updating the virus signature database. clamd itself is listening on exposed port 3310.

Releases

Find the latest releases at the official docker hub registry. There are different releases for the different platforms.

Usage

Debian (default, :latest, :buster-slim, :stretch-slim)

• buster-slim
• stretch-slim

    docker run -d -p 3310:3310 mkodockx/docker-clamav:buster-slim

Alpine (:alpine, :alpine-edge)

• alpine
• alpine-edge

    docker run -d -p 3310:3310 mkodockx/docker-clamav:alpine

Linked usage recommended, to not expose the port to "everyone".

    docker run -d --name av mkodockx/docker-clamav(:alpine)
    docker run -d --link av:av application-with-clamdscan-or-something

Environment VARs

Thanks to @mchus proxy configuration is possible.

• HTTPProxyServer: Allows to set a proxy server
• HTTPProxyPort: Allows to set a proxy server port

Specifying a particular mirror for freshclam is also possible.

• DatabaseMirror: Hostname of the mirror web server.

Persistency

Virus update definitions are stored in /var/lib/clamav. To store the defintion just mount the directory as a volume, docker run -d -p 3310:3310 -v ./clamav:/var/lib/clamav mkodockx/docker-clamav:latest

docker-compose

See example with Nextcloud at docker-compose.yml. You still need to configure the AntiVirus files app in Nextcloud.
