Health and Antivirus

So, I was messing with the Heath API a few minutes ago and everything workes fine except that the Antivirus service is returning "disabled". Is there something I need to do?

Self-hosted?

Errr. Using Digital Ocean

Check this
https://book.appread.io/security#antivirus
You can see that the calmav service is disabled by default and you'll need to enable it.

Alright. Thanks. trying it right away

Hi @Binyamin, I couldn't find this block in my docker-compose.yml file
clamav: image: appwrite/clamav:1.2.0 container_name: appwrite-clamav restart: unless-stopped networks: - appwrite volumes: - appwrite-uploads:/storage/uploads

You can see it here
https://appwrite.io/install/compose

Copy it from there, remove the hashes and try to restart you docker compose

Nvm. I've seen it now. Scanned it twice before 🤦🏽

I've done that but I get the same result though. I programmed it to output failed if the status is not "online"

there might be a problem with this version of clamav

Opps, I forgot this part
Enable the antivirus inside the .env file

_APP_STORAGE_ANTIVIRUS=enabled

Then restart the docker compose.

But anyway its seems like this version won't work anymore as Steven mentioned, this due the fact clamavis blocking the current binary version of getting update as it is not up-to-date

You can give it a try by enabling the antivirus and check the clamav logs

docker logs appwrite-clamav

Also, notice that the initializing process of the calmav can take few minutes, after that you can check the health endpoint.

If this won't work for you, you can try to install clamav on your machine in general as Docker volume file are store in plain sight - just inside a nested folder.

Alright. Thanks.

I already did this _APP_STORAGE_ANTIVIRUS=enabled
But I also get this error when I run docker logs appwrite-clamav

Yes, this is due the fact the software is 0.102 instead of the latest one.

Seems I'm gonna neglect this for now
btw, can you explain this part:

If this won't work for you, you can try to install clamav on your machine in general as Docker volume file are store in plain sight - just inside a nested folder.

Does this mean it's not really fixable? Is there any sure workaround?

For example, If you run

docker volume inspect appwrite_appwrite-builds

You'll get something like this

You can cd into that mounting point

To see all your files

This means even if you're using dokcer volumes the files are put in plain sight from the server aspect

Is that makes sense?

I think I understand. Alright, thanks. I'll be back.
