In Greenbone Community Containers 22.4, where is ‘openvas-nasl’ command

I want to use 'openvas-nasl ’ to run my nasl script , but I can’t find this command

Hi,

did you try the following command:

docker compose -f $DOWNLOAD_DIR/docker-compose.yml -p greenbone-community-edition exec ospd-openvas openvas-nasl --help

?

Background: the ospd-openvas container image is build from the openvas-scanner image and therefore contains the openvas-scanner executables too.

Hi,
I have a problem.
when I execute the nasl script in the directory of this file

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -p greenbone-community-edition exec ospd-openvas openvas-nasl -X ./nasl_script.nasl

it always says that

lib  nasl-Message: 13:54:12.700: nasl_script.nasl: Not able to open nor to locate it in include paths

I don’t know why not able to open nor to locate it in include paths.
Thanks.

Hi,

I guess you are trying to run a nasl file located on your docker host inside the container. This of course wont work. A docker container can’t access the content of your docker host without additional work. You need to mount the file or the local directory into the container. Please take a look at the docker and docker compose docs on how to do that.
