SonarQube 9 Installation on Ubuntu Linux with PostgreSQL : Step-by-Step Guide

SonarQube is an open-source tool which can used for analyzing the quality of the source code. It can detect your code bugs, vulnerabilities, security black holes and code smells. SonarQube empowers you to write cleaner and safer codes without breaking standards and code methodologies.

SonarQube is bundled with static code analyzer for more than 27 programming languages. SonarQube performs continues code inspection using thousands of automated static code analysis rules.

In this tutorial, I will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing SonarQube on Ubuntu 22.04 with PostgreSQL 15

We will start by installing PostgreSQL 15 and creating a new user and database for SonarQube. Then, we will install the latest version of Adoptium Temurin JDK 17, which is required for SonarQube to run.

Finally, we will download and install SonarQube 9.9.0, and configure it to use PostgreSQL 15 as its database. We will also set up the necessary kernel limits for SonarQube to run smoothly.

By the end of this tutorial, you will have a fully functional SonarQube instance running on Ubuntu 22.04 with PostgreSQL 15, ready to be used for your code analysis needs.

Thanks for the great content! Why do you need postgres for sonarqube? I have been using sonarqube just with docker container and it works fine. Sorry you didn't explain why and how postgres works with sonarqube.
