GVM Docker Image

Deploying Distributed Greenbone GVM GSA with openvas

Depending on your hardware, it can take anywhere from a few seconds to 10+ minutes while the NVTs are scanned and the database is rebuilt. The default admin user account is created after this process has completed. If you are unable to access the web interface, it means it is still loading (be patient).

This command will pull the image, create the container, and start it:

Before and equal Image TAG 21.4.0-v5

docker run --detach --publish 8080:9392 --publish 5432:5432 --publish 2222:22 --env DB_PASSWORD="postgres DB password" --env PASSWORD="webUI password" --volume gvm-data:/data --name gvm securecompliance/gvm

With Image TAG after 21.4.0-v5

docker run --detach --publish 8080:9392 --publish 5432:5432 --publish 2222:22 --env DB_PASSWORD="postgres DB password" --env PASSWORD="webUI password" --volume ./storage/postgres-db:/opt/database --volume ./storage/openvas-plugins:/var/lib/openvas/plugins --volume ./storage/gvm:/var/lib/gvm --volume ./storage/ssh:/etc/ssh --name gvm securecompliance/gvm

If you need to update the container, run docker pull securecompliance/gvm to get the latest version before running the above command.

Environment variables

Environment variables that can be specified with the --env parameter are documented in Environment Variables.

Those settings include the username and password for the web interface, setting the timezone, etc.

NVD Download Status

NOTE:When you run the docker container for the first time, you may not be able to connect right away. This is because the docker container is downloading nvd information for it.

!!! It can take based on you bandwidth up to 10 minutes or longer.

To check the status of the NVD download for the docker container please run this command

docker logs -f --tail=20 <container-name>

# or
docker exec -ti <nameOrIDofContainer> cat /var/log/gvm/(gvmd|openvas|gsad).log 

# or
docker exec -ti <nameOrIDofContainer> supervisorctl tail <service>
