Every time I’ve performed OS updates (apt-get update and apt-get upgrade) the OpenVAS scanner interrupts at 0% with an error that it cannot connect to scanner. This happens even if I perform OS updates immediately after updating the docker containers.
I’m sure there’s a better way to resolve this, and I’d love to hear anyone’s input, but here’s what worked for me…
I figured out a correct “order of operations” to get it to work for me, but it involved redownloading the containers after updating.
- Log into the OpenVAS VM with Putty (or equivalent)
- Perform OS Update and Upgrade
Sudo apt-get update
Sudo apt-get upgrade - Find the Download Directory
- Download the Greenbone Community Containers
docker-compose -f $DOWNLOAD_DIR/docker-compose.yml -p greenbone-community-edition pull - Start the Greenbone Community Containers
docker-compose -f $DOWNLOAD_DIR/docker-compose.yml -p greenbone-community-edition up -d
This is working and functional, however I’d love to hear input if there’s a better way to do these updates without breaking the app everytime I want to run OS updates.
