Installing SonarQube on CentOS 8

SonarQube is an open-source platform that provides continuous inspection of your source code to detect bugs, vulnerabilities, and code smells in real-time. It helps to ensure that your code quality meets industry standards and improves overall software development efficiency.

Here are the steps to install SonarQube on CentOS 8:

sudo dnf update -y

sudo dnf install -y wget unzip java-11-openjdk

cd /opt
sudo wget https://binaries.sonarsource.com/Distribution/sonarqube/sonarqube-9.1.1.47736.zip

sudo unzip sonarqube-9.1.1.47736.zip

sudo rm sonarqube-9.1.1.47736.zip

sudo vi /opt/sonarqube-9.1.1.47736/conf/sonar.properties

Update the following properties:

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

sudo dnf install -y postgresql-server
sudo systemctl enable --now postgresql
sudo -u postgres psql -c "create database sonarqube"
sudo -u postgres psql -c "create user sonarqube with encrypted password 'strongpassword'"
sudo -u postgres psql -c "grant all privileges on database sonarqube to sonarqube"

sudo /opt/sonarqube-9.1.1.47736/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh start

http://localhost:9000

By default, SonarQube runs on port 9000. You can access it using your server's IP address or domain name.

sudo /opt/sonarqube-9.1.1.47736/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh stop
