ClamAV Private Mirror

How To Use

• go get -v ./... && go build -v . && PRIMARY_MIRROR="https://database.clamav.net" ./clamav

What It Does

1. Starts an asynchronous download of the current antivirus definitions.
   1. Downloads three databases:
      1. main
      2. bytecode
      3. daily
   2. Parses each database's header for similar versions.
   3. If there is a similar/related version, it also gets downloaded.
   4. Downloaded files are stored in-memory in a cache for client downloads.
2. Initialises a cron job to download the new database definitions every hour.
3. Starts the web server and serves from cache.
4. Evicts files from cache every 3 hours to prevent stale definitions.

Mirrors

In order to function properly as a localised cache, you need to set the PRIMARY_MIRROR environment variable. Below is a short list of known mirrors.

• http://database.clamav.net

If for some reason the primary mirror fails, if you set SECONDARY_MIRROR, it will try that one.
