Hi, the download links for Community Build/Edition versions prior to 25.12 are missing. They are needed for upgrading from older versions, as stated in Determining the update path | SonarQube Community Build | Sonar Documentation. Thanks.

Hei @darin,

Depending on what you need, you may find the versions of the Community Build / Community Edition either HERE or HERE.
I hope this helps. I did not check if every version exists tho.

Cheers :glass_of_milk:

Thanks, those are the pages I had already checked. In fact it’s not just the Community Build that has missing links, the commercial builds are also missing links for anything older than 2025.

Why do you need such old versions of SonarQube ?

About the doc you mentioned, we gonna need to fix it.

To upgrade from older versions. I can just start over if necessary, but requiring a reinstall for anything older than December 2025 seems excessive.

Which version are you currently running ?

8.9.9, so my upgrade path would be to 9.9.8, 24.12, and then 25.12. But only the last one is available.

Thanks.
8.9 has been released in 2021, and 8.9.9 in June 2022 => Too many things have changed since that time, we don’t recommend you to upgrade, as the upgrade experience would be too painful.

As also mentioned here, we recommend you to keep this instance running if you need historical data, and to start a fresh SQS instance using the latest version on a new DB.
