Downloading and running sonarqube in Docker

How to use

• clone this repository in your local machine where docker is running

  git clone https://github.com/mechdeveloper/sonarqube-docker.git
  cd sonarqube-docker

• To spin up services defined in docker-compose.yml file

  docker-compose up

• Log in to http://localhost:9000 with System Administrator credentials (login=admin, password=admin). Once your server is installed and running, you may also want to Install Plugins. Then you're ready to begin Analyzing Source Code .

  NOTE: With this configuration SonarQube uses Embedded database and it should be used for evaluation purposes only. The embedded database will not scale, it will not support upgrading to newer versions of SonarQube, and there is no support for migrating your data out of it into a different database engine.

• To stop the services

  docker-compose down
