Primary LanguagePython

django-clamav

This is a fork of https://github.com/vstoykov/django-clamd with some minor customizations.

This project integrates python-clamd with Django for easy scanning files for viruses on upload

Installation

Install django-clamav package.

pip install git+https://github.com/QueraTeam/django-clamav.git

Aditioanlly if you want translations to work you need to add it to installed apps.

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django_clamav',
    ...
)

Usage

You can use it in forms:

from django import forms
from django_clamav.validators import validate_file_infection

class UploadForm(forms.Form):
    upload_file = forms.FileField(validators=[validate_file_infection])

Or you can add it as validator directly in your model:

from django.db import models
from django_clamav.validators import validate_file_infection

class FileModel(models.Model):
    document = models.FileField(validators=[validate_file_infection])

You will have automatically scanning of upladed files in Django Admin and also when create ModelForm's for that model.

Configuration

By default django-clamav tries to be smart and with good defaults. You can still configure how to connect to Clamd. Default values are:

CLAMAV_UNIX_SOCKET = '/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl'
CLAMAV_USE_TCP = False
CLAMAV_TCP_PORT = 3310
CLAMAV_TCP_ADDR = '127.0.0.1'

Note: When you are running on Fedora or CentOS and :code:clamav-scanner package is installed then default value for :code:CLAMAV_UNIX_SOCKET is:

CLAMAV_UNIX_SOCKET = '/var/run/clamd.scan/clamd.sock'

You also can disable virus scanning for development with:

CLAMAV_ENABLED = False

Note: This is primary for make it easy to run a project on development without the need of installing Clamd on devlopment machine.
