Our CentOS 9 Image works with the following to provide a working OpenVAS install.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Login to your CentOS 9 VPS & become the root user and run the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
dnf upgrade -y
dnf -y install wget
dnf config-manager –set-enabled crb
dnf install epel-release -y
dnf update -y<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then reboot.
After reboot re-login to the shell command line as root and download & run the installer for the Atomic Repository, which is done with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wget -q -O - https:\/\/updates.atomicorp.com\/installers\/atomic | sh<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nThis is an interactive process and you’ll need to accept the T&Cs etc for it to proceed and complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the above installs & commands are done, you can start the install of OpenVAS, via DNF:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
dnf install gvm -y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nThis takes a while but once done you can start the configuration of OpenVAS with:
gvm-setup<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This take a very long time, many hours (can be 6-10+ hours for us in Australia), just wait, it will complete & it has good error detection and retry\/resync on failed downloads, so let it run. Maybe run it in a screen or other non-interruptable terminal login session eg: tmux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the end of ‘gvm-setup’ it’ll prompt you for your “admin” user’s password that you need to set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After that it restarts itself and you’re ready to login to your VPS IP Address website (ie: https:\/\/VPS IP Address & accept the self-generated Cert) with the “admin” user’s password that you entered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FYI and holler if you need help with your OpenVAS VPS at Network Presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
