Pathing has been changed in gvm-libs

[romelBen]

Hey @Jarthianur ,

Just wanted to drop in and say your code is great. I has helped me bootstrap myself in what I needed for myself and I want to help out if an issue occurs. Recently GVM released a push of PATHing that was changed. When running the script it fails for me saying /run/gvm Permission denied.

Here is the link: greenbone/gvm-libs#574.

Let me know what happens. I am currently fixing the issue on my side.

[Jarthianur]

Thanks for reporting this. I'm investigating...

[Jarthianur]

It seems like these recent changes have broken a few things...

[romelBen]

I would add this into gvmd and openvas systemd service @Jarthianur.

RuntimeDirectory=gvm
RuntimeDirectoryMode=0750
PermissionsStartOnly=True

This will run directories of gvm and ospd in /run. Hope this helps out.

[Jarthianur]

Thanks for this hint. I've tried the directory entry already with at least some success. But currently facing the issue that there is no scanner created anymore upon installation- or at least gvmd cannot communicate to it.

What are the errors you are receiving in your logs @Jarthianur? For example, in /var/log/gvm/?

[romelBen]

When I run gvm-cli like so: gvm-cli --gmp-username admin --gmp-password admin socket --socketpath /run/gvm/gvmd.sock --xml "<get_tasks/>"

It's able to get a status 200 response. Would like to help.

Honestly I do not know what exactly has gone wrong. I have pushed a few changes based on the official greenbone service config. Could you please confirm that it's working for you.

So it is giving an error on the changes with Greenbone's documentation. (I tried the same thing and was not playing nice with me.) For my build, I ironed out some of the pathing and added RuntimeDirectoryMode into my systemd settings for gvmd and openvas since my script will be run at bootup. My script is here: https://github.com/romelBen/gvm_bash_script. Check it out. It draws a lot of inspiration from your code. I cut the systemd services of running the updates for SCAP, GVMD, NVTS, etc and gsa, where I use gvm-cli instead for doing the scans. But what I could find is the pathing in openvas and gvmd can be a big tricky if you follow Greenbone's documentation on installation.

Let me know if you can get it to work. Would like to help out as much as I can.

[Jarthianur]

I've tested the current state of master multiple times now - works good.
What exact errors are you facing?

[romelBen]

Let me recreate the build and see if it will build correctly.
