Hi @bricks,
I tried changing the ExecStart= line in my gvmd.service file to the following:
ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/gvmd --foreground --osp-vt-update=/run/ospd/ospd-openvas.sock -a 0.0.0.0 -p 9390
I then restarted and ran systemctl status gvmd.service for the status of gvmd, but the sevice then fails to start:
gvmd.service - Greenbone Vulnerability Manager daemon (gvmd)
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/gvmd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2023-01-26 16:27:09 UTC; 4min 11s ago

I’ve also tried running -a 0.0.0.0 --port=9390 instead of -a 0.0.0.0 -p 9390 as detailed in another topic, but gvmd then also fails to start. I then also tried removing the line --drop-privileges=gvm from ExecStart in my gsad.service file, but that also didn’t work.
If I change my gvmd.service back to the way it was then gvmd is running correctly on the host, but then also not exposing a TCP port as before.
I’ve also tried adding --listen=0.0.0.0 --port=9390 to my ExecStart= line in my gvmd.service.
I noticed that my gvmd.service file contains --listen-group=gvm, which I haven’t seen in other posts so far (here/elsewhere online). I tried removing it and only have the -a & -p flags but that also resulted in gvmd not starting.
Is there maybe a particular order in which the arguments in the ExecStart= line in gvmd.service should be added?
