How to setup Sonarqube using Docker and Docker compose?

Pre-requisites:

9000 is opened security firewall rules

Install Docker

sudo apt-get install docker -y

Install Docker-Compose

sudo apt-get install docker-compose -y

What is Docker Compose?

Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application’s services. Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration.

 

The purpose of docker-compose is to function as docker cli but to issue multiple commands much more quickly. To make use of docker-compose, you need to encode the commands you were running before into a docker-compose.yml file

 

Run docker-compose up and Compose starts and runs your entire app.

Create docker-compose.yml

this yml has all configuration for installing both SonarQube and Postgresql:

sudo vi docker-compose.yml 

(Copy the below code high-lighted in yellow color)

version: "3"

services:

  sonarqube:

    image: sonarqube:6.7.1

    container_name: sonarqube

    restart: unless-stopped

    environment:

      - SONARQUBE_JDBC_USERNAME=sonar

      - SONARQUBE_JDBC_PASSWORD=password123

      - SONARQUBE_JDBC_URL=jdbc:postgresql://db:5432/sonarqube

    ports:

      - "9000:9000"

      - "9092:9092"

    volumes:

      - sonarqube_conf:/opt/sonarqube/conf

      - sonarqube_data:/opt/sonarqube/data

      - sonarqube_extensions:/opt/sonarqube/extensions

      - sonarqube_bundled-plugins:/opt/sonarqube/lib/bundled-plugins

  db:

    image: postgres:10.1

    container_name: db

    restart: unless-stopped

    environment:

      - POSTGRES_USER=sonar

      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password123

      - POSTGRES_DB=sonarqube

    volumes:

      - sonarqube_db:/var/lib/postgresql10

      - postgresql_data:/var/lib/postgresql10/data

volumes:

  postgresql_data:

  sonarqube_bundled-plugins:

  sonarqube_conf:

  sonarqube_data:

  sonarqube_db:

  sonarqube_extensions:

Save the file by entering :wq!

Now execute the compose file using Docker compose command:

sudo docker-compose up -d 

If you are getting any errors like this, make sure you exit below commands to adding Docker group to current user.

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Make sure SonarQube is up and running

sudo docker-compose logs

Once you see the message, that's it. SonarQube is been installed successfully.

Now access sonarQube UI by going to browser and enter public dns name with port 9000

Now to go to browser --> http://your_SonarQube_publicdns_name:9000/
