Hi, there!

I faced the problem on the setup of SonarQube 8 Developer Edition.
Here are the details:

Is it related to SQ’s internals (Tomcat version), or the fault is on my side?

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Here’s the pertinent part of your log:

It sounds like you’re trying to upgrade from a version that’s older than 7.9. You can upgrade across multiple versions, but you can’t skip any LTSs in the middle.

 
HTH,

Hi, Ann!

Thank you for your reply.
But, I didn’t upgrade from previous version. What I do is download a binary at https://binaries.sonarsource.com/CommercialDistribution/sonarqube-developer/sonarqube-developer-8.0.zip
into Docker image, which later is used for new instance of SonarQube.

Here are some details, of the build context, related to SonarQube setup.

Dockerfile

FROM .../base/debian10:slim

ARG SONAR_VERSION
ARG JAVA_VER

ENV JAVA_HOME /opt/java/jdk-${JAVA_VER}
ENV PATH ${JAVA_HOME}:${PATH}

RUN  curl -fSsL ${JAVA_URL} --output java.tgz && \
    tar -xzf java.tgz --directory /opt/java/ && rm -f java.tgz

# Some Ansible stuff
...
- name: BUILD | Get SonarQube binary
  become: true
  unarchive:
    src: '{{ item }}.zip'
    dest: /opt
    mode: '0755'
    group: sonarqube
    owner: sonarqube
    remote_src: yes
 with_items:
    - '{{ binaries.app }}-{{ sonar_version }}'
    - '{{ binaries.scan }}'
...

After the image is built, next, ‘docker-compose’ brings SonarQube server up from that image.

Hi,

Can you verify that there’s not an overlooked old sonar or sonarqube schema in the database you’re pointing the docker image to? Because that’s what the error you’re getting indicates: the database has already been used with an old version of SonarQube.

Hi, Ann!

Yes, there’s. And you were right – once I fixed older schema, SQ server is up and running.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,

What changes did you make to the old schema to make it work?
