Hi Florens,

clamav can handle files up to 4GB form 1.2.0 onwards -> 
https://blog.clamav.net/2023/08/clamav-120-feature-version-and-111-102.html.
Upload all files in the same directory and from there you can move the scanned 
files around (cronjob), this is possible on most/all linux servers.
It was helpful if you have little knowledge about your server - yes, mean that 
the php ini handles the maximum file size itself (before the server kicks the 
connection to the user), so you must change something here too.

kind greetings

Betreff / Subject:      [clamav-users] Scanning multiple uploads at the same 
time

Hello,

I´m kind of a noob, forced to work on my own project because the money for 
programmers is running out 🙂. Nevertheless I could pay a certain amount for 
help if needed. My framework is laravel and I have managed to implement clamav 
in a way that it scans my uploads in the local environment.

Here is my uncertainty:
My website needs to be capable of handling multiple uploads at once, which can 
be as large as 4 GB (I read that is the maximum Filesize for ClamAV is 2 GB but 
it can somehow be extended to 4GB).

I wonder what would happen if many users were uploading at the same time. Would 
the scan requests be executed one at the time? I imagine that could lead to 
long waiting times for the uploading users.

If that is so, I need to either configure clamav in a way that a new instance 
is loaded whenever a user uploads a file, which seems daunting, especially for 
me as a noob. Would that be doable and what would it take? Do I need to have 
some special knowledge of how to configure the server?

What would you recommend otherwise? It can be a paid service too.

Thank you!

Regards,

Florens
