I was trying your indications for trying out sonarqube Community Edition (sonarqube-10.2.1.78527) via zip file following your guideline [here](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube/latest/try-out-sonarqube/#installing-a-local-instance-of-sonarqube) I’m trying this before doing [this](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube/latest/setup-and-upgrade/install-the-server/) as I thought it was more convenient of doing so first, and also because I’m testing it on our development environment. I want to add SonarQube to the pipelines of my company’s projects, but I can’t manage to get a fresh start, even the simplest one
The problem I’m finding is that whenever I try to start the web server it automatically shuts down. I looked for the errors and I saw this [thread](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/cannot-running-sonarqube-server-problems-in-web-log/64279) and this [thread](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/fail-to-execute-es-requestes-refresh-request-on-indices-components/68817/9) (the part of deleting data/es8), but none worked.
Attached you my find my log files in a zip file (they were too big to copypaste them here) logs.zip (24.6 KB)
Please, let me know if I can provide more information in any way. Thanks in advance!
The logging on this isn’t as clear as it could be, but here’s the problem:

Specifically, SonarQube’s embedded Elasticsearch is looking for >=90% free disk space. The absolute value doesn’t matter. You’ve got a 10Mb disk? 1Mb+ needs to be free. You’ve got a 100Gb disk? 10Gb+ needs to be free.
