Running the same image locally within Docker desktop everything works fine. The
main difference I can see is that when running locally it's running as root.
I have tried to set total open permissions (chmod -R 777) on /tmp/clamav/db
after obtaining the latest DB files from S3; didn't fix it.
I also notice that the clamav user is not present (when list users via getent
passwd) when running as a lambda.
Lambda is running from a docker container; base image is alpine with clamav installed as
"apk add --no-cache clamav-daemon clamav-libunrar".
Any ideas what I can look at next?
How much RAM and disk do you have ?
(I have
CompressLocalDatabase no
in freshclam.conf and)
for me freshclam builds a daily.cld and updates that with the cdiffs.
This daily.cld is currently > 200million bytes.
Are you running a clam daemon on this VM ?
That will need > 1GB RAM, and twice that while updating, unless you
have the option to pause the service while updating.
Could it be timing out ? There are several timeouts in my freshclam.conf.
