Upgrading to Sonarqube 9.9 LTS from V9.5 - Azure App service

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

Hi All.

I know this question has been asked several times, however this case is quite difference.

We currenty have sonarqube Developer edition v 9.5, currently v 9.9 is the latest, I have read up Upgrade guide however I am unsure how to upgrade our current setup which was built from GitHub - vanderby/SonarQube-AzureAppService: Instructions and files to host SonarQube on an Azure App Service without a container. and runs SQL server.

On the Azure app service configuration, the version is listed as Latest (I have changed it to 9.9 to see if this will trigger an update). It didnt work. There is no documentation on how to upgrade if running from an Azure app service. I will be grateful for any pointers please.

I noticed that on the app service, when checking the file system. I can see that the current version is on C:\home\site\wwwroot\sonarqube-9.5.0.56709, I have downloaded v 9.9, I was wondering if it would be a case of somewhat uploading the zip file onto the server, unzipping it and then changing some config somewhere from C:\home\site\wwwroot\sonarqube-9.5.0.56709 to C:\home\site\wwwroot\sonarqube-9.9 etc then restarting the web app ? This is what the upgrade guide suggests, but I am not sure i am on the right path here.

Thanks.

Hey there.

GitHub - vanderby/SonarQube-AzureAppService: Instructions and files to host SonarQube on an Azure App Service without a container. is maintained by a third-party, and I have some doubts it’s compatible at all with SonarQube v9.9: for example, it specifies Java 11, while Java 17 is required to run this version.

I think the best thing you can do is raise an issue on the GitHub repository (instead of trying to adjust the file system, which wouldn’t play nice with any redeployments), or switch to another method of deployment.
