Constituting a major version upgrade, this PR contains the required changes to build the new versions of OpenVAS.

Still need to test this by completely shutting everything down and booting a fresh instance on the master branch, then upgrading to this to ensure that the migration procedures are all working properly.

rye commented 4 years ago

I'll do that tonight, then test the migration.

No, this won't work at all.

The greenbone/openvas repository no longer contains any daemonization code (so, we can't run a server and connect to it from GVMD anymore).

It appears we need to use ospd-openvas, per this comment.

I think the migration plan is now going to be to add ospd-openvas to the openvas container and have that control openvas instead.

rye commented 4 years ago

And yes, per https://github.com/greenbone/openvas/blob/master/INSTALL.md, we now have

The scanner module does not run as a service as before any more. gvmd can act as a client and control the scanner through the OSPD-OpenVAS module. The actual user interfaces (for example GSA or GVM-Tools) will only interact with gvmd and/or ospd-openvas, not the scanner. You can launch openvas to upload the plugins in redis using the following command:

openvas -u

but ospd-openvas will do the update automatically each time a new feed is detected.
