SonarQube Server Installation
For more information on the SonarQube Server, visit sonatype.org
Description:
SonarQube is an open platform to manage code quality.
Pre-Requisites:
Install the packages that are needed to support SonarQube
COMPATABILITY NOTICE:
These instructions were constructed on SonarQube 5.6.1 LTS.
1. Database:
SonarQube requires a database connection. Either install a local MySQL/Postgres instance, or on a remote MySQL/Postgres server create a new database to hold the SonarQube DB. In this tutorial we will be using a remote database server that is running PostgreSQL 9.4.
On the PostgreSQL database server, not the SonarQube Server, create the database
CREATE DATABASE sonarqube;
CREATE USER sonar WITH PASSWORD 'qubemin123';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE sonarqube TO sonar;
Set connection permissions
vim /var/lib/pgsql/9.4/data/pg_hba.conf
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
host sonarqube sonar 10.0.0.9/32 md5
Reload the permission set
- This step will be done as the postgres user (su postgres)
/usr/pgsql-9.4/bin/pg_ctl reload -D /var/lib/pgsql/9.4/data/
2. Dependancies:
yum clean all
yum -y install sudo vim wget unzip net-tools java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64
Verify Java
java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_101"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_101-b13)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.101-b13, mixed mode)
Install the backports list server, containing openjdk-8
echo "deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
Update Apt
apt-get update
Install OpenJDK 8
apt-get -y install openjdk-8-jdk
Install other dependancies
apt-get -y install sudo vim wget unzip
Verify Java
java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_91"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-8u91-b14-1~bpo8+1-b14)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)
Installation:
1. Install the repo:
wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/sonar.repo http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sonar-pkg/rpm/sonar.repo
2. Install Sonarqube:
yum -y install sonar
1. Install the repo:
echo "deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sonar-pkg/deb binary/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
2. Install Sonarqube:
apt-get update
apt-get -y --force-yes install sonar
Configuration:
1. Database Config:
Edit the sonar.properties file and configure database access
vim /opt/sonar/conf/sonar.properties
sonar.jdbc.username=sonar
sonar.jdbc.password=qubemin123
sonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://10.0.0.5/sonarqube
Settings for the web server can also be set in this file
sonar.web.host=0.0.0.0
sonar.web.port=8080
sonar.web.context=
Firewall Rules:
In the event that a connection can not be established, ensure a firewall rule exists to allow the traffic
firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=8080/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload
IPTables:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 --jump ACCEPT
iptables-save
# Generated by iptables-save v1.4.21 on Sun Jul 31 13:34:40 2016

:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [30:3624]

Start the server:
/etc/init.d/sonar start
Starting SonarQube...
Started SonarQube.
Login:
Open your web browser and go to the ip of the server.
http://10.0.0.9:8080
Default Credentials:
username: admin
password: admin
Post Requisites:
Optionally install the Sonar Runner. The Sonar Runner is responsible for running your test cases and posting the results to SonarQube.
1. Download:
mkdir -p /opt/sonar_scanner
chown sonar /opt/sonar_scanner
cd /opt/sonar_scanner
wget https://sonarsource.bintray.com/Distribution/sonar-scanner-cli/sonar-scanner-2.6.1.zip
unzip sonar-scanner-2.6.1.zip
2. Configure:
cd /opt/sonar_scanner/sonar-scanner-2.6.1/conf/
vim sonar-scanner.properties
#----- Default SonarQube server
sonar.host.url=http://localhost:8080
3. Export Path:
Export the path to the sonar runner/scanner binaries
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/sonar_scanner/sonar-scanner-2.6.1/bin
