Hi folks,

we are trying to set up an infrastructure with multiple scanner-slaves in different locations and one central GVM+GSA. Also we want to use Postgres as DB Backend.

So far, a few questions came up:

1) Is it possible to run the Postgres on a different machine than GVM+GSA? If yes: how? I was not able to find a definite place for configuration :( So far I found a couple mentions of psql and sqlite calls in source code and some wrapper scripts. Depending on the current stance about this topic in the community, we are willing to share our solution with you all. If you are interested ;-)

2) As far as I understand, openvas-scanner needs a redis-service and access to (a local) NVT database. Does it also require connection to SCAP and CERT data or (probably in our case) the central Postgres?

3) I found a couple tutorials online, how to set up openvas9 with postgres. Sadly those all mention the "migrate-to-postgres" script, which (afaik) require a running setup with SQLite. Is it also possible to setup openvas9 using postgres without having to build the sqlite version beforehand? Any vage hints?

Thanks in advance :)
