Because reopen will not work, here the link to the original report.

Here the current log:

Using gpg keys instant of certificates will work.

Regarding the certificate issue, it can be resolved by installing or updating trusted root certificates. Below is my workaround method. After running docker compose -p greenbone-community-edition up -d, execute the following commands to solve the problem:

docker exec greenbone-community-edition-gvmd-1 apt update
docker exec greenbone-community-edition-gvmd-1 apt install ca-certificates -y

I hope that updating ca-certificates can be added to the Dockerfile of image: greenbone/gvmd:stable to resolve this issue.

@tryweb IIUC this is something completely different (sending encrypted S/MIME mails) while yours is about the community supported MTA setup within the containers which even didn't existed back then in 2021.

About the ca-certificates see greenbone/docs#483 which probably requires a community contribution / PR.

Closing as this is related to an old version.
