Updating a sonarqube instance installed via docker and avoiding downtime

[MaxMORI (Maximilien)]

Greetings,

First of all, sorry if this question might be duplicate/ a common one, I found old topics on the matters but it seems that might has been changed since ? See last response : Upgrades with docker containers changes server ID? - #2 by Carine_Bayon

I’m running a dockered sonarqube dev instance v10.6 (via the official docker image), and I’m thrilled for the new features of the new version and want to update while limiting the time sonarqube is down for CI/CD reason.

However I’m assuming that the servor ID will changed if I update following the documentation (eg : stopping the container / removing the container /relaunching a new container

Is there a way (even if it’s “crafty”) to update a sonarqube installed via the docker image, without having to contact sales rep to minimize downtime ?

Thanks for the help, and sorry for the pontential grammar mistake.

Hey there.

You really only need to be concerned if the location of your Database server changes, relative to your SonarQube server (i.e. if the JDBC URL changes, or the database is erased and started from scratch).

You can read more about actions that will invalidate your license key here.

As long as those are avoided, you should be fine.
