Thank you! It is still "Update in progress...".. How long does it takes for SCAP, CERT, GVMD?

Hello, thank you for the great video.
How is an update of the feed possible?

[@_CyberMe]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
I am actually recording another video hopefully tomorrow covering the scanning portion and in this video I can throw in a section on how to update the feeds.
But really all you need to do if you followed the process I provided is replace the current docker images with the updated image. If just for testing you can just use
sudo docker rmi 'image id'
and then when you run sudo docker-compose up -d you will pull in the latest image that you had deleted, therefore updating the database with latest CVE's. Another option would be to create script that removes/pulls greatest image and use cronjob to automate it every night or whatever you prefer.
Hope that helped get you on the right direction. Otherwise this week check back on the channel and I will cover it in the video in more detail.

Thanks for the video, I have followed your instructions, but do not get anything on the nvts, saying needing the scap database is required... How long does it take to download, I have everything saying update in progress. The three that are needed

[@_CyberMe]

No problem! I want to say it took quite a while. Maybe 15 minutes. Did not really monitor how long just came back later on and it was good to go.

Thanks. I did something wrong and get this error. "Could not connect to Scanner. Interrupting scan because GVM is exiting."

[@_CyberMe]

At what point did you get this error? I would double check to make sure all of the containers are running.
