[clamav-users] Using clamav-daemon on Heroku inside Docker

Mar 24, 2021, 11:47 AM

Post #1 of 5 (395 views)

Hi folks,

I'm having some trouble getting the clamav-daemon running on Heroku inside
Docker.

I'm running a simple server with FastAPI to get and check documents
uploaded to an S3 bucket.

I've created an issue for this at
*https://github.com/tutorcruncher/tc-virus-checker/issues/5/
<https://github.com/tutorcruncher/tc-virus-checker/issues/5/>* for those
who would rather comment there.

Deploying runs fine, but the clamav-daemon does not get started, and I
can't figure out why. If I shell in and run service clamav-daemon status, I
get:

chown: invalid user: 'clamav'
chown: invalid user: 'clamav'

It's my understanding that the user clamav gets created when we install
clamav-daemon, and indeed, when I edited my Dockerfile to add them, I get
an error saying they already exist.

Running freshclam downloads the database correctly but then gives me the
following output (presumably because clamav-daemon never ran):

Wed Mar 24 18:38:23 2021 -> ^Clamd was NOT notified: Can't connect to
clamd through /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl: No such file or directory

Any help would be appreciated.

That returns nothing, which makes sense.

The issue is that when I try and create the user in my Dockerfile, I can't
because they already exist.

Well.

Try installing both packages 'clamav' and 'clamav-daemon'

You should learn how to debug this kind of 'basic stuff'.

If you look at my Dockerfile you can see I'm installing them, and you can
see from my original email that the output of `service clamav-daemon
status` is giving me the user clamav error, rather than a 'service could
not be found' error.

I've got clamav running locally and with GH actions without issue, hence
why I think it's something to do with my configuration with Docker.

Perhaps there is still some 'basic stuff' that I'm missing; feel free to
point it out. I felt like chatting to the community would be the best way
of solving this.
