SonarQube Community Edition with PostGreSQL

SonarQube is an automated code scanning tool that can be integrated with CI/CD pipeline to detect security vulnerabilities and defects in the application code. It can integrate with your existing workflow to enable continuous code inspection across your project branches and pull requests. The single node SonarQube AMI by Kurian has pre-configured the community edition of SonarQube with PostgreSQL as the backend database. When an EC2 instance is spun up from this AMI the SonarQube service would be up and running on that machine for your immediate use.

Features

AMI built with the latest, stable version of the community edition of SonarQube.
AMI compatible for spinning up nodes to run SonarQube on a single node with PostgreSQL as the backend database.
AMI is built on a patched operating system and the node created from this is ready to be deployed in production.

How It Works

When an EC2 node spun up from this AMI, the SonarQube service is up and running on port 9000.
SSH into the newly spun up node if you need to perform any additional configuration.

Click on the links below to take you to Amazon Marketplace for spinning up EC2 nodes.

Configuration

When an EC2 node spun up from this AMI, the SonarQube service would be available on port 9000.
The service can be accessed using the URL http://EC2-NODE-IP:9000. Login as admin/admin and when you login first time you will be required to change the password.
The service can be managed using standard steps:

$ sudo systemctl [start

stop

status] sonarqube.service

At times due to database connection issues the service might not be fully up. Look at logs under logs directory and adjust connection settings in conf/sonar.properties. The sonarqube.service must be restarted for any change made in sonar.properties file to take effect.
