Hi everyone and sorry for the short notice but the Greenbone/OpenVAS vulnerability scanner community feed is offline for maintenance today Jan 16, 2025 through tomorrow sometime in the morning (CET) Jan 17, 2025. We'll keep you updated with any new information as needed and thank you so much for understanding.

@ljmoreno also, info/error messages from the logs might be helpful and if you could list the version number, package type and source (which Linux distribution, a Docker container, self-build, etc.) with your post that could help also (I'm not certain it makes a difference in this case, but if you include it, it saves someone asking that as the first question. :)

@ljmoreno Hi Jose :) it's a good starting place and it looks like we might need some additional info so please head on over to the Greenbone community forum. You can copy and paste the message you wrote here as your post to make it easier. Thanks!

Hi everyone :)

We have moved the Greenbone Community Edition Docker containers to self-hosting. The instructions at greenbone.github.io/docs/lates have been updated and the new registry location itself is "registry.community.greenbone.net/community"

The old images on Docker Hub will no longer be updated. If you have questions or issues please head on over to the community forum at forum.greenbone.net and thank you!

@realn2s you're welcome, and it runs on the scanner host only (nothing installed on targets). It's remote access and you set up the parameters and credentials if needed for the targets via configuration. Here's a walkthrough video to help show what things look like when preparing and running a scan.

@realn2s Hi Claudius! A place to start is here: greenbone.github.io/docs/lates

and for more info we have a full docs area at: docs.greenbone.net/ (there is overlap with Enterprise and Community edition for many things)

we also have a user forum here: forum.greenbone.net/

and a YouTube channel, the "Demystifying Greenbone" video youtube.com/watch?v=Wqff4BDphD has an overview of how things work together and hope that helps! :)

Important- we’ll be moving the official Greenbone Community Containers off of Docker Hub in 2024 (edit, in the next few weeks as of July). Though we don’t have a new location to point to yet, we want to let you know ahead of time so you can be ready to update your workflows if needed. Updates will be posted on the community forum (linked) and on our Mastodon account here.

Why are there so many complicated terms surrounding Greenbone? How does our vulnerability management system work? What do the components do? And how do they interact?

We believe that everybody should be able to understand cyber security. Greenbone's Joseph answers these questions and more in this video to give you condensed insider knowledge in a digestible format, so check it out! :)

The Greenbone Community Containers include some rather big images: greenbone/scap-data, greenbone/vulnerability-tests and greenbone/notus-data. With the changes on the NIST side for the scap data, this specific container even will triple its size to more then 3 GiB. Therefore I am currently working on shrinking the size of all these three container images #greenbone #openvas
