  • I’m always very wary of systems that require a user to deviate as much from the “usual” structure almost all other services use. HAOS has really weird configs and “all the functionality” that presumably breaks when you use docker and don’t have the supervisor for docker… well… If what HA did was the way to go… whi is it that tons of services use docker’s rather powerful internal networking features just fine but HA of all things can’t do that and requires weird addons that for some reason cannot live on any other system than a Debian with weirdly specific modifications (bye bye cgroupsv2)? This will break most other functionality of that host Debian. I mean… if only there was a widespread-way to provide a highly customized Linux kernel in an ephemeral environment that can just be plugged in and out of a host machine without changing the host machine itself… Nah, can’t have that, let’s cause more overhead with a VM…

    I’m not willing to make that kind of modifications to my whole setup just for HA and in the long run, this rift between “the way it’s usually done” and “The HA-Way” will become bigger and bigger, causing more and more problems.

    Noticed it stopped working yesterday, wasnt at home so I couldn’t really get into it, just checked the docker logs via portainer on the go and was like “wtf is this error?!” Was relieved when I learned what the issue was and that it’s just a restructuring of the containers.

    While it can be unnerving that they don’t shy away from breaking things in order to improve the service, it’s actually a very good thing and keeps the app from getting bogged down in some "but backwards compatibility"legacy code hell (wonder what some people in Redmond would know about that). Let’s just hope that they never publish an update that permanently breaks things when you haven’t followed a very strict weird update procedure or something.

    Okay, I think we can wrap this up: OP started with “I don’t want to be convinced of the predominant oppinion about security” and kept their word.
    OP: You got your answer. There is no alternative to ClamAV. ClamAV is open source so it will always be slower than apt update in fixing vulnerabilities.
    You can wonder why the whole community that created tons and tons of cool shit for Linux with armies of talented people with way more IT knowledge than all of us combined didn’t dedicate their time to Viruses. You can ask yourself how a virus would even get on your server… or you can not. Your choice. But the answer is: There is no alternative to ClamAV and ClamAV is set up mainly to detect Windows-Viruses that get spread by Mail-Attachments and the like.
