In this video, I will show you how to install Antivirus-App in Nextcloud with ClamAV.

--- Commands to install clamAV and Antivirus Apps in Nextcloud ------

Step 1: First install ClamAV
sudo apt install clamav clamav-freshclam clamav-daemon

Start the ClamAV update process:
sudo systemctl stop clamav-freshclam
sudo freshclam

Then edit the ClamAV configuration
sudo nano /etc/clamav/clamd.conf

Adjust the following values to fit our installation:
MaxDirectoryRecursion 30
MaxFileSize 100M
PCREMaxFileSize 100M
StreamMaxLength 100M

Now restart ClamAv and freshclam
sudo systemctl restart clamav-freshclam
sudo systemctl restart clamav-daemon

freshclam checks every hour to see if there are any updates for ClamAV.

Step 2: Install Antivirus-App in Nextcloud

Switch to the Nextcloud directory and the apps folder in there:
cd /var/www/html/nextcloud/apps

Download the antivirus app, unpack it and set the rights for Apache:
sudo wget https://github.com/nextcloud/files_an...
sudo unzip master.zip
sudo mv files_antivirus-master files_antivirus
sudo rm master.zip
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/nextcloud/apps/files_antivirus

Go to the additional settings to change the values for scanning:
Set the mode to "Daemon "(Socket)"
Set the Socket "/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl"
Transmission length to "104857600"
Set File size limit to -1 means no limit
the last settings to "Log only" or "Delete file", as we favor it
