SonarQube 8.9 -> 9.9 Upgrade Questions

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

Hi Gabriela,
Hope you are doing great.
We have made a clone of the sonar server that we are currently using and we are ready to perform the upgrade.
I have checked this guide: Upgrade guide
And this one Prerequisites and overview
and wanted con confirm:

  • We need to update OpenJdk 11 to OpenJdk 17.
  • We have and old version of PostgreSQL 9.6.23, so that needs to updated to 11
  • Server is a windows one so it does not seem to need any extra configuration
  • We don’t have any plugins, so that will make the migration easier.

Are those the right pages?

I’m double checking because from Sonar System page and the learn more the links return a 404

Hi,

Those seem like reasonable preparation steps. In addition, you might want check the LTA to LTA release upgrade notes for 8.9 to 9.9.

Once you’ve reached 9.9, you’re not done. SonarQube 9.9 became EOL with the release of SonarQube Server 2025.1 LTA last month, so you should continue your upgrade journey to reach it. The LTA to LTA release upgrade notes for 9.9 to 2025.1 may help.

Hi,

We are looking for the community edition, I’ve seen in this post that there is one 2025.1 : Upgrade to 2025.1 from 10.7-community edition which points to an available one: SonarQube Free & Open Source Community Build

Is there any specific step for the community edition or the guide to the 2025.1 LTA is expected to be followed?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

SonarQube Community Build and SonarQube Server split in packaging and versioning in late 2024.

SonarQube Community Build is now versioned like: YY.M, i.e. 2-digit year and month
SonarQube Server is now versioned like: YYYY.n, i.e. 4-digit year and increment

Additionally, there is no longer an LTA for SonarQube Community Build.

So what you’re looking for at this point is 25.2.

 
HTH,
