Deploy ClamAV with Seafile

Deploy with Docker

If your Seafile server is deployed using Docker, we also recommend that you use Docker to deploy ClamAV by following the steps below, otherwise you can deploy it from binary package of ClamAV.

Download clamav.yml and insert to Docker-compose lists in .env

Download clamav.yml

wget https://manual.seafile.com/13.0/repo/docker/pro/clamav.yml

Modify .env, insert clamav.yml to field COMPOSE_FILE

COMPOSE_FILE='seafile-server.yml,caddy.yml,clamav.yml'

Modify seafile.conf

Add the following statements to seafile.conf

[virus_scan]
scan_command = clamdscan
virus_code = 1
nonvirus_code = 0
scan_interval = 5
scan_size_limit = 20
threads = 2

Restart docker container

docker compose down
docker compose up -d

Wait some minutes until Clamav finished initializing.

Now Clamav can be used.

Use ClamAV in binary based deployment

Install clamav-daemon & clamav-freshclam

apt-get install clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam

You should run Clamd with a root permission to scan any files. Edit the conf /etc/clamav/clamd.conf,change the following line:

LocalSocketGroup root
User root

Start the clamav-daemon

systemctl start clamav-daemon

!!! success "Test the software"

```
$ curl https://secure.eicar.org/eicar.com.txt | clamdscan -
```

The output must include:

```
stream: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND
```
