Install guide for Dockerized Sonar?

hosszubalazs · September 12, 2018, 10:48am

Hi Sonar Team!

I suggest to update the documentation regarding Docker based setups:
https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Setup+and+Upgrade

The possibility to use Docker could be mentioned under the Get Started in Two Minutes guide.
Also probably a new section around Installing the Server would be great. Especially, how do the Linux specific requirements relate if Sonar is running in Docker? https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Requirements#Requirements-Linux

This page is already useful as a getting started guide, but overall more detailed documentation would be appriciated:
https://hub.docker.com/_/sonarqube/

Thanks and cheers,
Balázs

Hi Balázs,

We aren’t publishing Docker images because we don’t feel we have the requisite mastery of the topic. So… documenting how to use something we’re not comfortable with isn’t likely to happen.

However, the Linux-specific requirements do deserve a mention in the Installation guide, so I’ve put that on my list.

We’ve just released official images of SonarQube Community Edition 7.4 and 6.7.6, available on the hub.

We improved the documentation, on the hub, and also in the SonarQube pages you linked to. So we definitely liked your idea We did not go as far as documenting Linux specific requirements. Good thing it’s on @ganncamp’s list

I’m interested in knowing how this was implemented (eg. in term of build pipeline) and the challenges encountered (will probably be helpful for future maintenance).

I believe it’s a good candidate for a Coffee Break. Would you feel like doing one?
