dirname: missing operand

[andresriancho]

The scan seems to be running, but I see this in the console:

dirname: missing operand
Try 'dirname --help' for more information.
        ERROR: No server certificate file of OpenVAS Scanner found.
        FIX: Run 'openvas-mkcert -f -q'.

 ERROR: Your OpenVAS-9 installation is not yet complete!

@andresriancho can you try running it again to see if the error persists?

[andresriancho]

Run on a different workstation and got the same error.

Run for a second time in the same workstation and got the same error.

@andresriancho

This seems related to this issue: https://github.com/mikesplain/openvas-docker/issues/237

The installation will still run fine with the error so it's no real problem. The base image from Mike Splain does not seem very up-to-date anymore so it probably won't be fixed.

I will consider to changing to https://github.com/Atomicorp/openvas as the base.

[andresriancho]

@dicksnel would be nice to change to https://github.com/Atomicorp/openvas as the base if it is more updated

@andresriancho @dicksnel Tried changing the base image to atomicorp/openvas:v9 but I am running into this issue on running the following command -

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/openvas/results/ pranavbhatia/new-openvas /openvas/run_scan.py 123.123.123.123,www.github.com openvas_scan_report

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/openvas/run_scan.py", line 7, in from lxml import etree ImportError: No module named lxml

[dicksnel]

@prav10194 that is probably because you need to "RUN pip install lxml" in your Dockerfile, because it is not installed in the Atomicorp image.

Hi @dicksnel After installing the pip command, I tried doing the docker run but getting this following error -

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/openvas/results/ pranavbhatia/new-openvas /openvas/run_scan.py www.github.com openvas_scan_report sh: /start: No such file or directory Starting OpenVAS Starting scan with config daba56c8-73ec-11df-a475-002264764cea Traceback (most recent call last): File "/openvas/run_scan.py", line 67, in create_target_response = subprocess.check_output(create_target, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, shell=True) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 575, in check_output raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd, output=output) subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command 'omp -u admin -w admin -h 127.0.0.1 -p 9390 --xml 'www.github.com-74www.github.com'' returned non-zero exit status 1
