    Sorry, but my English is very poor
    I installed minimal netinstall debian 9 stretch into LXC
    Code:
    arch: amd64
    cores: 1
    hostname: ispconfig
    memory: 1024
    net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1,gw=192.168.1.1,hwaddr=8E:F1:A1:8B:F7:7F,ip=192.168.1.107/24,type=veth
    ostype: debian
    rootfs: local-lvm:vm-107-disk-0,size=16G
    swap: 1024
    Then I installed
    Code:
    apt-get -y install ssh openssh-server
    apt update
    apt install nano mc
    apt install net-tools
    nano /etc/apt/sources.list
    Code:
    deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
    deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
     
    deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main contrib non-free
    deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main contrib non-free
    Code:
    apt update
    apt upgrade
    And I followed this manual
    Code:
    https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/ispconfig-automated-install-script/
    I didn't set up anything after installation and look at linux top command (clamd CPU 100% and mem 60%).
    CPU is down to 0-1% after 1-2 minutes, but Memory is still 60-70%
    Code:

    It's ok that ClamAV and Amavis are using a lot of CPU for a short time after install and also after a server reboot. Memory usage is fine too. Normally you assign to a complete hosting server with mail, web, database, FTP, and DNS at least 2GB ram, you assigned just 1GB, so it is to be expected to get 100% RAM usage in your case.

    I have a small server. Overall, I have 8GB. Now I have increased RAM to 2GB.
    I always feel that the clamd consumes a lot of RAM

    Yes, ClamD uses a lot of RAM. If you don't have enough RAM and not many email traffic, then you can try to stop the CalmAV daemon so that amavis will use a fallback to clamscan which is started on demand when an email arrives.

    Try:

    systemctl stop clamav-server

    and then check if mail system still works. If yes, you can disable the service permanently

    In my first post:
    here's cat /var/log/ispconfig_setup.log
    https://textuploader.com/1d4lr
    Look at the end
    Code:
    ...
    Installing Webmail client (Roundcube)... Installing Webmail client Plugins (Roundcube)... [DONE]
    ...
    You will need to edit the username and password in /var/lib/roundcube/plugins/ispconfig3_account/config/config.inc.php of the roundcube user, as the one you set in ISPconfig
    phpMyAdmin is accessible at: http://ispconfig.com:8081/phpmyadmin or http://192.168.1.107:8081/phpmyadmin
