+  # Trivy DB contains vulnerability information from NVD, Red Hat, and many other upstream vulnerability databases.
+  # It is downloaded by Trivy from the GitHub release page https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy-db/releases and cached
+  # in the local file system (/home/scanner/.cache/trivy/db/trivy.db). In addition, the database contains the update
+  # timestamp so Trivy can detect whether it should download a newer version from the Internet or use the cached one.
+  # Currently, the database is updated every 12 hours and published as a new release to GitHub.
+  #
+  # Anonymous downloads from GitHub are subject to the limit of 60 requests per hour. Normally such rate limit is enough
+  # for production operations. If, for any reason, it's not enough, you could increase the rate limit to 5000
+  # requests per hour by specifying the GitHub access token. For more details on GitHub rate limiting please consult
+  # https://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting
+  #
+  # You can create a GitHub token by following the instuctions in
