Antivirus software and Docker General guidelines for using antivirus software with Docker antivirus, security

When antivirus software scans files used by Docker, these files may be locked in a way that causes Docker commands to hang.

One way to reduce these problems is to add the Docker data directory (/var/lib/docker on Linux or $Env:ProgramData on Windows Server) to the antivirus's exclusion list. However, this comes with the trade-off that viruses or malware in Docker images, writable layers of containers, or volumes are not detected. If you do choose to exclude Docker's data directory from background virus scanning, you may want to schedule a recurring task that stops Docker, scans the data directory, and restarts Docker.
