What are the best practices to setup Sonarqube in Azure Environment?

[Pranil (Pranil Bhilare)]

Hello, I want to set up sonarqube for a project, where code analysis would be done in Azure Devops.

Wanted to know best ways to setup sonarqube in Azure and also had following questions ?

1. Should i use Windows or Linux VM to host sonarqube ? Or is there a way to host it without a VM ?
2. Any alternative to using Azure SQL DB ?

Also, Please share if there are any good documentations or steps to follow while setting up. Couldn’t find any good documentation.

Thanks in advance.

Hey there.

• Should i use Windows or Linux VM to host sonarqube ? Or is there a way to host it without a VM ?

You should use the operating system / deployment method you’re most comfortable with. Your options are laid out in the Install the Server documentation (running it on a VM or running it from a Docker image). If you find any gaps or have questions, let us know.

2… Any alternative to using Azure SQL DB ?

The Requirements documentation list 4 supported database platforms – Postgres, SQL Server and Oracle.
