This is two in one docker image so it runs open source virus scanner ClamAV (https://www.clamav.net/), automatic virus definition updates as background process and REST api interface to interact with ClamAV process.

Travis CI build will build new release on weekly basis and push those to Docker hub ClamAV-rest docker image. Virus definitions will be updated on every docker build.

Usage:

Run clamav-rest docker image:

docker run -p 9000:9000 --rm -it niilo/clamav-rest

Test that service detects common test virus signature:

$ curl -i -F "[email protected]" http://localhost:9000/scan
HTTP/1.1 100 Continue

Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2017 20:22:34 GMT

Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2017 20:23:16 GMT

• 406 - INFECTED
• 400 - ClamAV returned general error for file
• 412 - unable to parse file

Developing:

Build golang (linux) binary and docker image:

env GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build
docker build . -t niilo/clamav-rest
docker run -p 9000:9000 --rm -it niilo/clamav-rest
