Ability to skip antivirus based on rules

Open PVince81 opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

For example only scan files if they were uploaded from an external network. And skip the antivirus for files uploaded from the intranet to save some resources / speed.

As on #155

It will be useful to add rules to skip files:

  • by extension
  • by MIME type
  • by size
  • by filename / foldername (regex???)
  • by AV signature

I just installed the new nextcloud-backup app and since that one stores the backup-chunks in a scanned directory while in maintenance mode, it is as good as impossible to do backups automated by background jobs with files_antivirus activated. So I have to do backups "by hand" (with occ) after deactivating the files_antivirus app. It would be enough, to give the choice to deactivate antivirus while in maintenance mode, since one normally only backups already scanned files or to give the option to exclude certain directories from scanning.

It's a shame we can't do that. I don't use antivirus because of this.
