[clamav-users] ClamAV in Raspberry Pi with Nextcloud

[Micah Snyder (micasnyd)]

Hi Dominik,

I don’t have any good recommendations for you.  ClamAV has a fairly high RAM requirement.  It uses almost 1GB of RAM just to run, and will use some additional RAM when scanning larger files, and when freshclam tests newly updated databases (a feature that you can disable).  While you _may_ be able to get by with just 2GB of RAM on a headless server, users are *recommended* to have 4GB of RAM or more when using ClamAV.

Subject: [clamav-users] ClamAV in Raspberry Pi with Nextcloud

Hi there,

I'm using ClamAV on a Raspberry 3 Model B which hosts a Nextcloud instance on an Apache Webserver with a local MariaDB database. The problem is when I boot the Raspberry Pi, clamd starts and uses very much memory making it impossible to connect to the Pi via SSH. The only solution is to be very fast with logging in and then stopping the clamd process. But of course that doesn't make much sense.

Can anyone please suggest me a configuration to bypass this problem without having to stop the clamd process?

Thanked n advance.

Dominik
