Hi all,
I spent my weekend crafting a tool to download & maintain CVD's and CDIFF's=
for use in a private mirror.
The tool is named "cvdupdate" and is available on:
- PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/cvdupdate/0.1.0/
- Github: https://github.com/micahsnyder/cvdupdate **Disclaimer: This repo=
sitory may be transferred to a new clamav org on Github in the nearish futu=
re.
**This is only for admins that maintain a private mirror. Please continue =
to use Freshclam for normal ClamAV installs to minimize bandwidth costs for=
the ClamAV project.
This new "cvdupdate" tool will download CVDs and CDIFFs. Freshclam only do=
wnloads CDIFFs after the first CVD has been downloaded.
Requirements: python 3.6 or newer, and an internet connection with DNS enab=
led.
You can install it with `pip3 install -user cvdupdate`, or `python3 -m pip =
install -user cvdupdate`
The simplest use case: install it and then run `cvd update`.
The CVDs and CDIFFs will be downloaded to `~/.cvdupdate/database`.
Run it as often as you need, in a cron job for example.
Please see the readme for more usage options/features.
In the future we may add an option to Freshclam to keep CDIFFs so you can u=
se Freshclam for private mirror maintenance instead. But for now, this "cvd=
update" tool should work nicely.
Please ONLY use this tool to maintain private mirrors. DON'T use it for upd=
ating your regular clamav database. Use Freshclam instead for that.
I really hope this helps. Any feedback is welcome. You should be able to =
create Issues on the github repo if you find any problems.
Best regards,
Micah
