abes-esr / clamscan-docker Goto Github PK

Hello,

First of all, thank you for this inspiring open-source project.

I'm wondering about a concept in your project.
If I understand correctly, you rsync the folder to be scanned to a temporary folder within the docker container. Is this the case?

If so, does that mean that your server needs to have double the disk space? that's unmanageable with large folders, isn't it?

Thanks for the clarification!

• if FRESHCLAM_AT_STARTUP=1 then when the container starts, a freshclam should be launched
• if FRESHCLAM_AT_STARTUP=0 then when the container starts, freshclam will not be launched and it will wait for the crontab to run it (each hours)

Change the default parameters to: --recursive=yes --allmatch=yes --remove=no --suppress-ok-results

Then add a parameter CLAMSCAN_OPTIONS making possible to customize clamscan command.

As a result we should have:

clamscan --recursive=yes --allmatch=yes --remove=no --suppress-ok-results  /folder-to-scan/

SCAN_ONLY_NEW_FILES could be true by default. Then the scan will scan a first time the whole FOLDER_TO_SCAN content, and the next time (CRON_CLAMSCAN) it will only scan the new files found.

Thanks to this feature, the process will be lighter (less CPU usage) especially when there is lot and lot of files in FOLDER_TO_SCAN.
