Install Antivirus Software in the ownCloud Appliance¶
This guide details how to enable a virus scanner in the ownCloud Appliance. It is composed of two parts:
Install ClamAV and Related Components¶
First, start the appliance and go to “System and domain settings”.
When there, log in with the administrator account. After you have done that, click “Software” and open “Package Management”, as in the screenshot below.
From there, you first need to install ClamAV. To do this, in the third field, next to the one containing the text “Package name”, type in the phrase: “clamav” (1). Doing so filters the list of packages to only those matching that phrase. In the filtered list of packages, check the checkboxes next to “clamav” (2), “clamav-freshclam”, and “clamav-daemon”.
After doing that, click “INSTALL” (3) above the listed packages, next to “SHOW DETAILS”, to install them.
After you do so, a confirmation dialog appears, as in the screenshot below, asking for confirmation to install the packages. Confirm the choice by again clicking “INSTALL”.
The installation should only take a few minutes.
Configure ownCloud to Use ClamAV¶
You next need to configure ClamAV in your ownCloud instance. Please refer to the ClamAV documentation for instructions on how to do that.
