Rsync failing behind proxies

[huornlmj]

After spending some time following the guidance here (https://securecompliance.gitbook.io/projects/gvm_image) and observing the feeds failing to download due to RSYNC proxy issues, I wanted to share some feedback here. The documentation should contain a section for those operating behind proxies. I found that feeds only updated if I provided environment variables, specifically:

--env RSYNC_PROXY="proxy.internal.local:3128"

Note the omission of the protocol before proxy.internal.local

So in total, the working command for behind a proxy was:

docker run --detach --publish 8080:9392 --publish 5432:5432 --publish 2222:22 --env HTTP_PROXY="http://proxy.internal.local:3128" --env HTTPS_PROXY="http://proxy.internal.local:3128" --env RSYNC_PROXY="proxy.internal.local:3128" --env DB_PASSWORD="postgres DB password" --env PASSWORD="webUI password" --volume gvm-data:/data --name gvm securecompliance/gvm

By the way - thank you for making it so easy to deploy GVM! manual installation has become somewhat of an unnecessary 'rite of passage'.

@Dexus are you sure about https://github.com/DeineAgenturUG/greenbone-gvm-openvas-for-docker ? That's an entirely different project, and their slogan "Webservices, Webhosting and Games for YOU!", and being translated to "Your agency", doesn't seem like a group involved in security. Are they taking over support from this repo? UPDATE - I see now that you are the owner of that company. Not sure I agree with the site's slogan from 2004

my company -> my repository -> my support -> my freedom to work on the project without restrictions and other things, I'm not able to do here, since I never was an employee of SCS - and what you see is that they never bring any working solutions or updates themself. I'm doing much more, than ever a slogen can say in only six words :D

UPDATE - I see now that you are the owner of that company. Not sure I agree with the site's slogan from 2004

I'm owning the domain since 2008 and also my company since 2009 so it's not my message from 2004.
