Setup SonarQube with POSTGRES database using docker

Both SonarQube and POSTGRES database should be same network in order communicate with each other. First create docker network using the following commands

Create docker network

Delete existing docker network and create new docker network sonarqube

$ docker network rm sonarqube_network
$ docker network create sonarqube_network

Run PostGres DB container

Delete existing postgres docker container

docker stop postgres
docker rm postgres

Run new postgres docker container

docker run --name postgres  -e POSTGRES_USER=root -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=Test12345  -p 5432:5432 --network sonarqube_network -d postgres

Run SonarQube container

Delete existing sonarqube containers

docker stop sonarqube
docker rm sonarqube

Run new sonarqube container

docker run -d --name sonarqube   -p 9000:9000  -e sonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://postgres/postgres  -e sonar.jdbc.username=root -e sonar.jdbc.password=Test12345  --network sonarqube_network sonarqube

Sonarqube should be up and running at http://localhost:9000. Use the following default credentials to login into the sonarqube

username: admin
password: admin

---

You can also achieve same with docker-compose.

docker-compose.yml

version: "3"

services:
  sonarqube:
    image: sonarqube
    ports:
      - "9000:9000"
    networks:
      - sonarnet
    environment:
      - sonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://db:5432/sonar
    volumes:
      - sonarqube_conf:/opt/sonarqube/conf
      - sonarqube_data:/opt/sonarqube/data
      - sonarqube_extensions:/opt/sonarqube/extensions

  db:
    image: postgres
    networks:
      - sonarnet
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_USER=sonar
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=Test12345
    volumes:
      - postgresql:/var/lib/postgresql
      - postgresql_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

networks:
  sonarnet:
    driver: bridge

volumes:
  sonarqube_conf:
  sonarqube_data:
  sonarqube_extensions:
  postgresql:
  postgresql_data:

Start the containers with the command and SonarQube should be up and running at http://localhost:90

$ docker compose up -d
