Openvas startup can take some time (4-5 minutes while NVT's are scanned and databases rebuilt), so be patient.  Once you see a `It seems like your OpenVAS-9 installation is OK.` process in the logs, the web ui is good to go.  Goto `https://\u003cmachinename\u003e`\n\n```\nUsername: admin\nPassword: admin\n```\n\nTo check the status of the process, run:\n\n```\ndocker top openvas\n```\n\nIn the output, look for the process scanning cert data.  It contains a percentage.\n\nTo run bash inside the container run:\n\n```\ndocker exec -it openvas bash\n```\n\n#### Specify DNS Hostname\nBy default, the system only allows connections for the hostname \"openvas\".  To allow access using a custom DNS name, you must use this command:\n\n```\ndocker run -d -p 443:443 -e PUBLIC_HOSTNAME=myopenvas.example.org --name openvas apriorit/openvas\n```\n\n#### Volume Support\nWe now support volumes. Simply mount your data directory to `/var/lib/openvas/mgr/`:\n```\nmkdir data\ndocker run -d -p 443:443 -v $(pwd)/data:/var/lib/openvas/mgr/ --name openvas apriorit/openvas\n```\nNote, your local directory must exist prior to running.\n\n#### Set Admin Password\nThe admin password can be changed by specifying a password at runtime using the env variable `OV_PASSWORD`:\n```\ndocker run -d -p 443:443 -e OV_PASSWORD=securepassword41 --name openvas apriorit/openvas\n```\n#### Update NVTs\nOccasionally you'll need to update NVTs. We update the container about once a week but you can update your container by execing into the container and running a few commands:\n```\ndocker exec -it openvas bash\n## inside container\ngreenbone-nvt-sync\nopenvasmd --rebuild --progress\ngreenbone-certdata-sync\ngreenbone-scapdata-sync\nopenvasmd --update --verbose --progress\n\n/etc/init.d/openvas-manager restart\n/etc/init.d/openvas-scanner restart\n```\n\n\n### Thanks\n\nThanks to hackertarget for the great tutorial: http://hackertarget.com/install-openvas-7-ubuntu/\n\nThanks to Serge Katzmann for contributing with some great work on OpenVAS 8: https://github.com/sergekatzmann/openvas8-complete\n\nThanks to Mike Splain https://github.com/mikesplain/openvas-docker\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fapriorit%2Fdocker-openvas","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fapriorit%2Fdocker-openvas","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fapriorit%2Fdocker-openvas/lists"}
