Hello! I'm currently experimenting with running the OpenVAS 'stack' within a Docker container.

However, after spotting this diagram: http://www.openvas.org/software.html it seems that a few of the OpenVAS components communicate via TCP/IP, meaning that in theory one might be able to run them in a distrubuted way across different VMs or within different Docker containers? My brief assessment lead me to believe that the following setup might be possible:

- the OpenVAS Scanner on a single VM or in a single container
- the OpenVAS CLI & Manager would need to share a container (unless I'm reading the diagram wrong and the CLI also uses port 9390 to execute commands on the Manager?)
- the Greenbone Security Assistant also in a single container
- an optional nginx reverse-proxy VM or container to upstream the Greenbone Security Assistant and terminate TLS

Has anyone experimented with this in the past? Are my assumptions correct?

Thanks,

Kane Valentine
