Really great, thanks for posting this howto.

Related to the redis config you could also have a look at the following documentation:

greenbone/openvas-scanner/blob/v6.0+beta1/doc/redis_config.txt

= Redis KB server =

== Presentation ==
Redis (http://redis.io) is used to store and access the KB. Scans won't run if
they cannot access the server and might be significantly slowed down if redis is
not properly configured.

The feature has been developed with neither cluster mode nor replication
enabled. Redis 2.4 and 2.6 are supported. Versions 2.6 and higher are
recommended.


== Connection ==
OpenVAS can currently only access redis via a unix socket. This choice has been
made for the sake of speed and security. No authentication is supported yet, we
rely on filesystem permissions to protect the KBs.

The path to the unix socket is '/tmp/redis.sock' by default, and can be changed
using the 'kb_location' parameter.
