Can't connect to gmp from python api

Building from Source and Advanced Topics Greenbone Management Protocol (GMP)

Hello everyone,

First of all, I’m aware that the is others topic on similar subject but I didn’t found any answer here, neither in the documentation.

I want to use the python gvm api to create task and target, launch the scan and get the results, everything without using the web interface.

So I firstly installed GVM from the dockerhub. Surprisingly it is working fine. I can test every ip addresses I am directly connected to.

Then, I installed the python-gvm api and here is the problem, I can’t make the connection to the server.
I tried to use the UnixSocketConnection but I couldn’t find the gvmd.sock.

Then I tried the SSHConnection by installing and initialising openssh into the docker, but even with this I where not able to connect, because of the lack of certificate configuration with the python-gvm api.

Finally I tried to use the TLSConnection but I have errors mentioning SSL unexpected EOF

So I’m here to ask you if you have any way to connect to the Gmp.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

NB : I’m using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Hello hello… I believe this is what you’re looking for.

Thank you for your reply, I think it’s a thing I missed.

However, the documentation tell us to modify the docker-compose.yml file. But this file isn’t existing on my computer, and the link in the documentation leads to 404 web pages :frowning:

I found how to solve and make everything working.

You just have to follow the entire installation here : Greenbone Community Containers 22.4 - Greenbone Community Documentation

And just after you download the docker-compose.yml, you will have to follow this

Then everything work fine. Thank you @Robeen for your help ! :slight_smile:
