[clamav-users] Inquiries about ClamAV operating environment
Dear Sir or Madam,

I am Tachibanaki from Ricoh IT Solutions Co., Ltd..
I am writing to you for the first time.


I am writing to inquire about ClamAV.

I see in the ClamAV Documentation that ClamAV can run inside a Docker container,
but will ClamAV be supported running on AWS ECS (Fagate)?

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,


Nozomi Tachibanaki

Support for ClamAV is provided through this mailing list, both by
ordinary ClamAV users (such as myself) and by ClamAV developers
(who are mostly people employed by one of the companies within Cisco,
although anyone can make contributions). There is an issue tracking
system to which anyone can contribute:

https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav/issues/

This replaces the original issue tracking system

https://bugzilla.clamav.net/

but the change from Bugzilla to Github has only recently been made,
there are a number of issues which remain to be moved from the older
Bugzilla system to the newer Github system.

Please be aware that ClamAV uses a lot of memory (at least a gigabyte
for the 'official' signature databases alone, plus there are various
third-party signature databases which you might want to use, plus you
might want to write your own signatures and/or Yara rules which will
increase memory consumption by probably a small amount) but I am sure
that Fargate (not Fagate)

https://aws.amazon.com/fargate/

will support ClamAV. Some of the users on the mailing list use ClamAV
in Docker containers but I have never done that. There have been some
issues related to using ClamAV specifically in Docker containers, e.g.

https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav/issues/330

You might also find more by searching the archives of this list:

https://lists.clamav.net/pipermail/clamav-users/

What experience do you have of using ClamAV?

What do you want ClamAV to do for you?

Finally please be aware that my mail servers are very conservative in
what mail they accept. If your reply to me directly, rather than via
the mailing list, your mail will certainly be much delayed and it is
quite likely to be rejected.
