Integrations

ClamAV (Docker only)

ClamAV is used to scan shares for malicious files and remove them if found.

  1. Add the ClamAV container to the Docker Compose stack (see docker-compose.yml) and start the container.
  2. Docker will wait for ClamAV to start before starting Pingvin Share. This may take a minute or two.
  3. The Pingvin Share logs should now log "ClamAV is active"

Please note that ClamAV needs a lot of ressources.
