For the GVM-Docker right now you can either restart the container or run this to force a NVT update:

docker exec -it gvm /sync-all.sh

You could setup a cron job or similar to run the above command to schedule the updates.


The OpenVAS-Docker image is setup to auto update the NVT feed every 12 hours.

You can see in this script:
