services:
  #Create service sonarqube
  sonarqube:
    #Get lastest image from DockerHub
    image: sonarqube:8-community
    #set container name
    container_name: sonarqube
    ports:
    - 9000:9000
    #this service is assigned to network sonarnet  
    networks:
    - sonarnet
    #Set username, password and url to connect postgresql database
    environment:
      SONARQUBE_JDBC_USERNAME: sonar
      SONARQUBE_JDBC_PASSWORD: sonar
      SONARQUBE_JDBC_URL: jdbc:postgresql://db/sonar
    #Set volumes which will sync data to real machine  
    volumes:
    - sonarqube_conf:/opt/sonarqube/conf
    - sonarqube_data:/opt/sonarqube/data
    - sonarqube_extensions:/opt/sonarqube/extensions
    - sonarqube_bundled-plugins:/opt/sonarqube/lib/bundled-plugins

  #Create service postgres database  
  db:
    #Get lastest image from DockerHub
    image: postgres
    #this service is assigned to network sonarnet  
    networks:
    - sonarnet
    #Set username and password for postgres database  
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: sonar
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: sonar
    #Set volumes which will sync data to real machine  
    volumes:
    - postgresql:/var/lib/postgresql
    - postgresql_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

#Create network sonarnet
networks:
  sonarnet:

#Create volumes on real machine that data of container can sync
volumes:
  sonarqube_conf:
  sonarqube_data:
  sonarqube_extensions:
  sonarqube_bundled-plugins:
  postgresql:
  postgresql_data:
  • Then let's create some folders which is located next to the docker-compose.yml file as image below, then the data of container will be sync into these folders.

Testing#

  • Now you can use command docker-compose up to start your SonarQube server. If there are errors with messages as below:
1
window max virtual memory areas vm.max_map_count [65530] is too low, increase to at least [262144]
  • So you should open Terminal and run the command below to set vm.max_map_count=262144 on Linux machine.
1
sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144
  • If you are using Window. You should open PowerShell and put these commands
1
2
wsl -d docker-desktop
sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144
  • Then restart your docker-compose file and go to http://localhost:9000 and use default username and password of SonarQube to login.
  • username: admin
  • password: admin
