Hello everyone, I have some questions and need food for thought about clamAV. First, do you use it and why ? If yes, how are you running it ? I plan to maybe use it for nextcloud (and *arr stack later)

    ClamAV is great for exactly one thing: checking the “has antivirus” checkbox on company security audits.

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s a real AV product, but there’s no real need for it. You’ll get much better results just being careful about what you run and having a system and network firewall. And not running everything as root.
