How to Configure and Check Feed Sync Timing in Greenbone Docker Container?

[devMarc5598]

Hi everyone, I need some help regarding the feed sync process.

1. Viewing the Feed Sync Time: I’d like to know where I can check the specific time when the feed sync happens within the Docker container. Is there a log or configuration file that shows when the last sync occurred and when the next one is scheduled?
2. Setting a Manual Feed Sync Time: Additionally, I’d like to configure or edit a custom time for the feed sync to occur. Is there a way to manually specify when the sync should happen (e.g., via a cron job or a system setting in the container)?

Any guidance on how to manage these tasks would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.

The feeds do not update automatically.
As long as you didn't start the container with "-e SKIPSYNC=true", restarting the contianer will updated the feeds.

you can also run the sync.sh script in the container to initiate a sync.

docker exec <container name> /scripts/sync.sh 

If you wanted to setup a cron on the host machine to run that command, that would work as well to give you a scheduled sync.
