ClamAV vs Dokploy
A side-by-side editorial comparison of ClamAV and Dokploy — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
ClamAV vs Dokploy: at a glance
What is ClamAV?
ClamAV's file parsers keep yielding CVEs — and every fix ships twice, to two branches.
ClamAV runs two supported lines, 1.5.x and 1.4.x, and publishes identical patch releases seconds apart whenever a vulnerability lands. The recurring source is the same: file format parsers. The July pair fixed a PESpin unpacker use-after-free and an integer overflow in PE rebuild size calculations; the March pair fixed an HTML parser error-handling crash and a JPEG scanning hang inherited from a Rust image dependency. One of the July issues reaches back to code from 2005.
What is Dokploy?
A self-hosted PaaS spending its releases on secrets, injection fixes and plan limits.
Dokploy cuts patch releases every one to two weeks, and the recent stream is dominated by hardening rather than features. v0.29.12 added AES-256-GCM encryption for environment variables at rest and made backups carry the full keyring; v0.29.13 closed an OS command injection in git clone across all providers. The newest tag says outright that it is bug fixes only. Alongside that, plan limits landed in v0.29.10.

ClamAV
0.0INFRA · APIS
ClamAV's file parsers keep yielding CVEs — and every fix ships twice, to two branches.
◆ Current state
ClamAV runs two supported lines, 1.5.x and 1.4.x, and publishes identical patch releases seconds apart whenever a vulnerability lands. The recurring source is the same: file format parsers. The July pair fixed a PESpin unpacker use-after-free and an integer overflow in PE rebuild size calculations; the March pair fixed an HTML parser error-handling crash and a JPEG scanning hang inherited from a Rust image dependency. One of the July issues reaches back to code from 2005.
◆ Where it's heading
Feature work has effectively paused since 1.5.0 last October, which added OLE2 encryption detection and HTML URI recording in JSON metadata. Everything since is patch traffic. The more consequential trend is the Rust dependency chain: fixing image parsing bugs by upgrading crates has twice forced the minimum Rust compiler version upward, which pushes cost onto distribution packagers rather than end users.
◆ Prediction
Expect the dual-branch CVE pattern to continue at roughly quarterly intervals, with the PE and archive parsers the likeliest source given their history here. Whether a 1.6 line opens is not something these entries indicate — there has been no development release since the 1.5.0 cycle.
Dokploy
6.3INFRA · APIS
A self-hosted PaaS spending its releases on secrets, injection fixes and plan limits.
◆ Current state
Dokploy cuts patch releases every one to two weeks, and the recent stream is dominated by hardening rather than features. v0.29.12 added AES-256-GCM encryption for environment variables at rest and made backups carry the full keyring; v0.29.13 closed an OS command injection in git clone across all providers. The newest tag says outright that it is bug fixes only. Alongside that, plan limits landed in v0.29.10.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is a self-hosted platform trying to earn production trust: encrypted secrets, injection fixes, a pinned install script tied to each release, and Postgres query rewrites to stop hitting the 100-argument limit on rollbacks, schedules and backups. Plan limits point the other way — toward a commercial tier layered on the open-source core. Both arcs suggest the project is past feature-chasing and into making the platform defensible.
◆ Prediction
Expect the hardening thread to continue into the rest of the 0.29 line, with the plan-limits work being the seed of a paid tier that gets more definition before a 0.30 release.
