    Pretty sure you have to maintain a subscription to access the marketplace and antimalware definition updates, if you're a business. I'm not so sure about the community edition since I haven't used that in a while. I don't think COS is maintaining updates though, so I don't know if it's worth maintaining a subscription. Have you tried registering your system under the Webconfig>System>Settings>System Registration?


    Hi Dirk,

    Well, I understand you have to pay for updates, but then why is clearfoundation charging our credit card yearly and our ClearOS asking to be registered? Aren't those charges for updates and/or upgrades? Isn't ClearOS part of ClearFoundation? Are they two different entities? I am confused. I am telling our accountant what I am seeing and what ClearOS is asking for to register our ClearOS server and he is pointing at all the credit card charges since 2018 by ClearFoundation. How do I resolve this and/or get in touch with ClearFoundation?

  • Hi.


    I want ALL of "Clear Foundation" OFF my network, in the sense that I wish to disable ALL automatic updates and ALL "phone home" features.

    I have now lost an entire week of productivity to various network failures, and every one of them can be traced to ClearOS -- and every failure is something that "hey, it worked when I installed it, what happened?"


    I do not wish to have my systems changed, in any way, especially misguided "improvements," without my explicit consent.

    I have work to do, and I wish to spend my time doing that work, not troubleshooting why my server is misbehaving. Once I get it working, you are to leave it alone until told otherwise.


    Please advise how to make this work. I have attempted to firewall all of the IPs I can find related to you and the result is a spiteful system saying "if I can't phone home then you can't have the internet."


    Best Buy has any number of self-contained boxes to choose from that will get the job done without this nonsense.

  • There is no "if I can't..." message. If I block all of the IPs that seem related to you, it decides that none of my interfaces are working, and thus I have no access to the internet.

    I'm a bit calmed today after resolving yesterday's failure (another thread), but I'm still flying in opposition of the "cloud" movement, and likely always will.

    ClearOS is the only network-related thing I'm running right now that isn't either application-specific hardware, or virtualized. It is the one thing I fear being broken/corrupted by an update. Anything else that gets mangled gets restored from a snapshot and little to nothing is lost. If ClearOS gets mangled, however, *everything* is dead in the water until either I figure it out, somebody posts a solution on here, or I wipe the entire system and start over.

    I'm totally okay with a model that says "here's an update, we think it might work, it might break stuff, why don't you find out for us?" as long as I get to choose when to do that and on which systems. I have periods where work is slow and do certainly enjoy tinkering, and I also have sacrificial sandbox systems. If one system goes down on a Friday it's a slight annoyance ("well, there went my weekend"), the disaster is when it's Sunday evening and I'm getting ready for (literally everybody I work for) to open on Monday morning, and every system is fighting with me in some unexpected way. That's when I'm in a panic, that's when things are critical, and, frankly, that's when I'm furious.

  • Why is ClearOS keep telling me the system is not registered every time I go to Marketplace?

    Lately, ClearOS keeps asking us to register to get access to Marketplace. It was registered before. Why is it asking?

    Plus, it is forcing us to select subscription - 30 day evaluation basic, 30 day evaluation Essential or Purchase Subscription. I don't understand. So, we have to purchase subscription every year even thought we've already paid for the ClearOS copy we are using.

    Any help or hints will be greatly appreciated. thanks.

  • Sorry about the last post. I accidentally posted it twice. Admin can remove the duplicate.

    Nuke,

    I did look into Antimalware in my server and it seems I don't have the option to schedule scan.

    Mine says Antimalware Gateway Antivirus and yours is Antivirus File Scanner. Are they two difference apps? Take a look at the pic.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Nuke,

    Thanks for your reply. It's interesting that you say unless you got a lot of email at once. Everyone's emails get spammed here, but there is one email account that gets way more spam than others all the time in HUNDREDS everyday. Maybe that's why Clam runs a lot causing high CPU usage.

    I will take a look at Antimalware Scanner setting...

    Thanks,

  • How do you schedule when (date and time) clamscan runs?

    Hi,

    ClearOS - 2.5.2

    Clamscan had always taken over the whole server bogging down the CPU (Clamd high CPU usage) and its performance while it scans the whole system. It didn't used to be this bad. However, lately Clamscan seems to be running a lot especially almost always EVERY MORNING around 8am to 10am holding the server HOSTAGE for hours; not being able to download emails or view the website.

    But I did read that I can schedule when Clamscan runs (date and time). I would strongly prefer that clamscan runs at OFF-PEAK hours like weekends say every Saturday at 11PM.

    Is there a way to schedule when Clamscan runs on ClearOS?

    Can someone give me the command to be able to do that?

    Thank you,

  • Hi Nick,

    I thought I found the answer to my question, but it turns out I jumped the gun. $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] only returns our domain name not the domain name of the visitor's IP ADDRESS. Let me look at your suggestion and come back with more questions or thank you...

    :)
