I suspect it's just because you're trying to start clamd again when it's already running (and thus using that socket) - it will be started by default once you install it, I believe - it certainly does for me. You shouldn't need to do anything; `freshclam` should poke clamd via the socket if it needs to reload anything, so you should be able to omit the `CMD ["/usr/sbin/clamd"]`. If you want to be double certain, instead of trying to launch `clamd` directly like that, use the systemd service that will be created, e.g.: `CMD ["/usr/bin/service clamav-daemon restart"]` ... or similar. BTW, you should get `clamav-freshclam` automatically anyway if you install `clamav-daemon`, so you don't *need* to specify it, but it doesn't hurt to. Also, you shouldn't have to create & chown stuff in `/var/run/clamav` - the Debian package should handle all that when it's installed. _______________________________________________ Manage your clamav-users mailing list subscription / unsubscribe: https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav-documentation https://docs.clamav.net/#mailing-lists-and-chat _______________________________________________ Manage your clamav-users mailing list subscription / unsubscribe: https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav-documentation https://docs.clamav.net/#mailing-lists-and-chat
