Cannot find gvmd.sock

[jskyfacts]

I am using python-gvm for automation with the docker image but while establishing connection it fails saying "could not find /usr/local/var/run/gvmd.sock"
The file doesn't exist in this folder, also checked other folder /var/run etc. Couldn't find it anywhere.

This container has the GVM listen on port 9390 not on a socket

But the earlier build of the container used sockets. Because it worked for me earlier.
This means I cannot use UnixSocketConnection from python-gvm or there is a way of enabling it? Or any alternative?

how can I use port 9390?
I have started gvm container
docker run --detach --publish 8080:9392 --env PASSWORD="Your admin password here" --volume gvm-data:/data --name gvm securecompliance/gvm
and when I try to connect via openssl:
sudo openssl s_client -connect localhost:9390
then I didnt work. Do I need private or public key for it? If yes where can I find it?

thank you for your andwer.

You will need to expose the GVM port by adding --publish 9390:9390 to the docker run command.

@jskyfacts You have to replace su -c "gvmd --listen=0.0.0.0 --port=9390" gvm in the start.sh with su -c "gvmd --unix-socket=/data/gvmd/gvmd.sock" gvm. This will create a socket in the /data/gvmd folder
