Configure HCW@Home

Now that every component are ready, we can update the main configuration file /etc/hcw-athome/hcw-athome.conf. Most of the part are self explanatory, you are free to adjust according to your specific configuration.

Also adjust the socket or port Clamav can be reached. If you use socket, you might need to first add HCW@Home system user to Clamav group to be able to communicate with the Daemon.

adduser hcwhome clamav

Check now the socket path, by default it should be /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl, so you can adjust this path in HCW@home configuration with this command.

sed -i 's|/var/run/clamd.scan/clamd.sock|/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl|g' /etc/hcw-athome/hcw-athome.conf

Once updated, you can restart and check for logs with the following commands.

systemctl enable --now hcw-athome
or
systemctl restart hcw-athome

Check logs

journalctl -f -u hcw-athome -n 200

If you see the following line, it means your server is ready.
