Discourse-Antivirus Plugin Installation Discussion Summary

Pro_Remont is seeking help with setting up the discourse-antivirus plugin, specifically with creating an SVR record. 4ong provided some guidance, mentioning the antivirus_srv_record setting and its relation to a running ClamAV instance, and shared relevant links for further reading.

osioke advised against mentioning team members and instead encouraged waiting for a response from the team. They also cautioned Pro_Remont that installing the antivirus plugin requires understanding server-side antivirus use and complex setups, and may create more problems than it solves if not necessary.

4ong apologized for mentioning a team member, as per osioke’s request.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to set up a plugin discourse-antivirus, but I don’t understand how I should create the SVR record. I tried to find information on the forum, but without success. Can anyone help me plz?

Hi @Pro_Remont
I have a limited experience with this plugin, but the setting name is
antivirus_srv_record

And it is related to your running ClamAV instance

It can be also a good idea to cast @Roman_Rizzi as he is a main contributor.

Oh no no no, don’t mention team members please :folded_hands:t5: I’ve edited that out. Once you make a topic like this, one of us will see it and do the needful :wink::blush:

@Pro_Remont why do you feel you need an antivirus plugin? The installation requires that you understand how to use an antivirus on a server and have dire need for it, else you may create more problems than you solve. It requires very complex setups and configurations, see:

Ah, ok sure - sorry about that :+1:
