Scan finishes in 5 seconds with no results (Docker Community Edition)

Scanning / scan configuration
1

Hello,

I’m using the Greenbone Community Edition with Docker (latest stable images from registry.community.greenbone.net). All containers are running, and the GSA interface works fine.

However, every scan I launch completes in about 5 seconds, shows as “Done”, and no results are returned. The report always says:

The report is empty. The filter does not match any of the 1 results.
The following filter is currently applied: apply_overrides=0 levels=hml rows=100 min_qod=70 first=1 sort-reverse=severity

Here’s what I’ve checked:

  • The scan task uses “Full and fast” scan config.
  • The target is valid and reachable from my host system.
  • The scan log shows normal status changes: Queued → Running → Processing → Done.
  • No visible errors in the GSA UI or scan task log.
  • ospd-openvas container logs show:
Starting scan ...
Host scan finished.
Scan finished.

How can I confirm that my scanner is correctly connected and the feed is available?
Any advice or diagnostic steps would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance!

And host can ping this target, but I am on docker version, I don’t know how to test ping from container, ping command is not available inside them :confused:
