I cannot update my NVT on my docker image update

I am using my dockerised Openvas system for last 3 years and today I have updated my docker image

mikesplain/openvas 9 f3e8ed228230 22 months ago 5.33GB

And then executed greenbone-nvt-sync and received the following error.

root@1c07a591e20b:/# greenbone-nvt-sync 
rsync: failed to connect to feed.openvas.org (89.146.224.58): Connection timed out (110)

rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(128) [Receiver=3.1.1]

NC out put is same for my docker and my home computer.

Could you please help me with this?

Make sure you are using the latest scripts from gvmd. I think the URL changed a few months ago. Mine is connecting to:

Greenbone community feed server - http://feed.community.greenbone.net/

I have a container dialed in pretty tight at this point if you want to try it out:
immauss/openvas (docker.com)

Thank you for your update.

But is it possible for me to upgrade my existing version?

Note sure why this topic was created in the “Scanning / scan configuration” configuration because it clears doesn’t fit here:

Use this category for:

  • General questions on how to scan with a GSE/GCE/GSM
  • Specific scan configurations / settings
  • Everything else around scanning techniques

As this problem is originating from an outdated and end-of-life version of GVM you could edit the first post and change the category to Greenbone Community Edition - Greenbone Community Forum .

The topic itself is a duplicate of Unable NVT to get update in Openvas - Greenbone Community Edition - Greenbone Community Forum and many more.

Please contact the maintainer of the used docker image and ask for an update to the latest (and currently only supported GVM-20.08) version.
