Yes, clam wastes a lot of RAM. Also, computer viruses are dead as floppy disks (that used to spread viruses) are dead.

bash hst-install.sh --apache no --multiphp yes --vsftpd no --named no --dovecot no --clamav no --spamassassin no --interactive no --force

[config request] --nginx no

yes, clamav takes a lot of ram but i think anti virus must be run at the end user level not server level.

What alternative anti-malware kit could be recommended here, or just use none?

15

In my opinion, it is Linux and none is really needed. Malware is mainly for Windows OS. and even then, Windows is still not secure.

No Apache - Use Ngnix only.
No DNS - Use Cloudflare DNS
No Mail - Use external email using Zohomail.
No FTP - Not required

I use Hestia on 1 VPS (from 39 pieces) because want a client Nginx+Apache, on other 38 serves are flying OpenLiteSpeed servers. On Ultra-Heavy load Apache die in 1-2 min (130k-240k products in Woo with nonstop xml feed updating). I still can´t understand why not have Hestia a modern webserver in it…

Could you share some of your ‘best practices’ for running Apache AND Nginx? I’ve been running Nginx and phpfpm for about a decade it seems like. ServerMom.org used to benchmark for VestaCP, and I kinda fell in love with her stack.

I’ve never really had a NEED for Apache, but my next development machine is probably going to be apache/nginx without phpfpm.

Me either it preformce a lot better but your don’t have the possibility to use .htaccess

Based on my experience, I can say that ClamAV is absolutely useless. I have had more success in blocking intrusion attempts and tampered files using the Security module.
