Server base URL

You must configure your base URL in the SonarQube Community Build. Otherwise, integration and authentication features will not work correctly.

If you want to delegate the SonarQube Community Build user authentication to an OAUTH provider (GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, SAML), you should use HTTPS for security reasons. This means that the SonarQube Community Build instance should be secured behing a proxy. See Securing behind a proxy.

The SonarQube base URL needs to be a public URL if SonarQube expects to receive information from an external system. This is basically only relevant if you use SCIM (since it requires SonarQube to be reachable by the Identity Provider).

To configure the server base URL in SonarQube Community Build:

1. Go to Administration > Configuration > General Settings > General > General.

2. In Server base URL, set your SonarQube Community Build instance’s URL.
