Currently I have upgraded SonarQube server community build version to v24.12.0.100206 version and would like to upgrade further to 2025.4.0.x but I am not getting any download link for the version.
As per upgrade path, I need to upgrade from v24.12.0.100206 to 2025.4.0.x version.
Please let me know from where I can get the link to download SonarQube server community build for 2025.4.0.x download.
Hey there.
If you’re using Community Build, you should target v25.8, which is available on the SonarQube downloads page.
Hi,
To give some background, below are the details I am trying for upgrading my existing SonarQube instance 8.9 to 25.8 community build version.
I could successfully upgrade my existing sonarqube instance from 8.9 LTA –> 9.9 LTA and then from 9.9 LTA to 24.12.0.100206.
When I tried to upgrade 24.12 to 25.8, got below error. Also as per upgrade path I got below path to follow but as I cannot download 25.4.x version for community build I got stuck to upgrade to 25.4.x.
9.9 LTA > 24.12.0.100206 > 25.4.0.x (one intermediate step)

So as per upgrade path seems I cannot upgrade from 24.12 –> 25.8 version, hence looking for 25.4.x community build version for download.
I am using OpenJDK 17.0.8 version for the instance.
openjdk version “17.0.8” 2023-07-18 LTS
Please let me know if need further details.
Thanks,
Jagdish
Thanks. The docs are just an example. You should target 25.8. The important part to pay attention to is:
- You can upgrade directly from one version to another if both versions are within the same year.
- You must upgrade to the December version first to upgrade to a next year’s version.
The logs you shared don’t tell the whole story. What do the other ones say?
Hi Colin,
I have uploaded log file for your reference.
I have tried below Java version to start SonarQube 25.8 version but it also gave the same error.
Redhat Openjdk 17.0.15.0.6-1
Redhat Openjdk 21.0.7.0.6-1
web.log (63.3 KB)
Thanks,
Jagdish
There are other log files. 
What about es.log?
Hi Colin,
Thanks for highlighting for other log files. Have gone through the log file and found some space issue. Fixed the issue and working fine now.
Thanks,
Jagdish
Also for one of the build, I am facing below error which is built using Redhat Openjdk java 17.

Other builds with JDK 8 and 11 are working fine. Could you please let me know if any setting issue for SonarQube upgraded instance 25.8 version?
Thanks,

Feel free to open a new thread.
Sure, will do.
