Thanks @bricks for the clarification and the reference to the architecture – definitely a good bit of moving components.
It seems that gvm is already installed, so perhaps apt install openvas installed gvm as well?
Quick question regarding the syncing process into the postgresdb, does it not do that when running gvm-setup? The reason I’m asking is because my Dockerfile runs gvm-setup, completes successfully, but when starting GVM, it seems like it goes through the process of updating/syncing (or maybe just syncing) to the database then. I’m wondering if I could somehow accomplish this during the Docker build rather than waiting to get on-prem to run my first scan.
