Sonarqube Enterprise Edition setup for high availability

SonarQube Server / Community Build Plugin Development
1

Just a quick question. I’m using a Sonarqube Enterprise Edition currently at 9.9.8 LTA and would soon upgrade to 2025.1 LTA. I just wanted to know if community edition doesn’t support HA and you need to be in Data Center Edition?

I found this in previous ask in the community and wanted to know if this is still the case for Enterprise Edition?

High availability in Enterprise Edition - SonarQube Server / Community Build - Sonar Community

Hi,

That’s correct. HA isn’t supported in any edition below Data Center Edition.

As a side note, there is no LTA for Community Build and only the latest version is supported. If you’re using Community, your upgrade path is

9.9.8 → 24.12 → 25.4 (25.5 imminent)

I’m using Enterprise Edition so this is not applicable to me (upgrade path 9.9.8 > 24.12 then 25.4)

Hi,

The Enterprise Edition upgrade path is

9.9.8 → 2025.1.1 → 2025.2 (last step optional)

Hi Ann,

I have a dilemma. I noticed that version 2025.1 has a minor update, making it 2025.1.1. My current development environment was upgraded to 2025.1 (not 2025.1.1) sometime in February or March. I’m about to upgrade my production environment to 2025.1. Do you highly recommend upgrading to 2025.1.1 instead of just 2025.1?

If I upgrade to 2025.1.1 in production, I need to upgrade the development environment to 2025.1.1 immediately because production needs to be on the same version as the development environment.

Can you also confirm if 2025.1 is the same as 2025.1.1? I’m guessing it’s not?

Hi @popac00
The last version Long Term is indeed 2025.1.1 (Download SonarQube at the bottom of the page).
Recommendation is to stay on this version (2025.1.1) as we fixed couple of issues that were part of the 2025.1 earlier.

Hi,

To expand on what Carine said, 2025.1.1 is, yes, a minor update to 2025.1. You should upgrade both your systems to it to get the patches and fixes it contains. You shouldn’t see any significant functionality differences, just some fixes.

when upgrading to 2025.1.1, should my prod environment go to 2025.1 first or it can go directly to 2025.1.1 with ease?

My dev environment is already in 2025.1 and if the recommendation is to go 2025.1.1, then my experience in dev would be 9.9.8 LTA > 2025.1 > 2025.1.1.

For PROD environment, can I go directly to 2025.1.1 coming from 9.9.8 LTA?

Hi,

No need to hit 2025.1. You can go straight to 2025.1.1.
