Sonarqube

Here are the steps to install SonarQube Community Edition on Ubuntu 22.04 with Nginx:

Step 1: Install Java

SonarQube runs on Java, so first, you need to install Java. You can use either OpenJDK or Oracle JDK.

Install OpenJDK 11 with the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install openjdk-17-jre -y

Step 2: Install PostgreSQL

SonarQube requires a database to store its data. In this guide, I'm using PostgreSQL. You can install PostgreSQL with these commands:

sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib -y

Then, start the PostgreSQL service and set a password for the postgres account:

sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
sudo -u postgres psql

Inside the psql session, set a password for the postgres account:

ALTER USER postgres PASSWORD 'your_password';
\q

Step 3: Create a SonarQube Database

After setting up PostgreSQL, create a new database for SonarQube:

sudo -u postgres createdb sonarqube

Step 4: Download and Install SonarQube

Download and unzip SonarQube:

Link: https://www.sonarsource.com/products/sonarqube/downloads

wget https://binaries.sonarsource.com/Distribution/sonarqube/sonarqube-10.2.1.78527.zip
unzip sonarqube-10.2.1.78527.zip
sudo mv sonarqube-10.2.1.78527 /opt/sonarqube

Step 5: Configure SonarQube

Open the SonarQube configuration file:

sudo nano /opt/sonarqube/conf/sonar.properties

Edit the following settings in the configuration file:

sonar.jdbc.username=postgres
sonar.jdbc.password=your_password
sonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/sonarqube

sonar.javaHome=/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64

sonar.path.data=/var/sonarqube/data
sonar.path.temp=/var/sonarqube/temp

Step 6: Install and Configure Nginx

Install Nginx:

sudo apt install nginx -y
sudo systemctl enable nginx
sudo systemctl enable nginx

Create a Nginx configuration file for SonarQube:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/sonarqube.conf

Insert the following content into the configuration file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain_or_server_ip;

    location / {
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_pass http://localhost:9000;
    }

    error_page 502 /502.html;
    location = /502.html {
        root /var/www/html;
    }
}

Activate the configuration and restart Nginx:

sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl restart nginx

Step 7: Start SonarQube

Start the SonarQube service:

sudo /opt/sonarqube/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh start

Access SonarQube via a web browser by visiting http://your_domain_or_server_ip. Log in with the default admin account (admin/admin) and then you can change the password.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured SonarQube on Ubuntu 22.04 with Nginx.
