Notes about gvmd ---------------- On Kali / Debian we highly recommend to install the package gvm and to use the commands provided by the package gvm to setup correctly GVM tools: 'sudo gvm-setup' 'sudo gvm-check-setup' (see more information in /usr/share/doc/gvm/README.Debian) How to update the data in Kali / Debian --------------------------------------- To update the feeds, use the command 'sudo greenbone-feed-sync' To update only a type of data, use the commande 'sudo greenbone-feed-sync --type ' Check with 'greenbone-feed-sync -h' the How to run other GVM commands in Kali / Debian ------------------------------------------------- Since gvm 11, we use a special user _gvm. You need to use this user to run the GVM commands, like 'sudo -u _gvm gvmd --get-scanners' 'sudo -u _gvm gvmd *' 'sudo greenbone-feed-sync' 'sudo -u _gvm -- gvm-cli [options]' NOTE: if you run commands only with sudo (or as root user), created or updated files may by owned by root instead of _gvm user and your installation will not work correctly. Other information ----------------- Postgresql optimization: with latest versions of postgresql gvm can be very slow. It can help to add "jit = off" in the postgresql.conf https://community.greenbone.net/t/everything-works-but-i-cant-see-any-report/5875/13 https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=6763
