Installing Helm chart

How to install the Helm chart for SonarQube Community Build.

Once you have customized your Helm chart, you can install it. You can also overwrite Helm chart parameters directly in the installation command (see OpenShift example below).

General installation command

Use the following command to install the latest SonarQube Community Build Helm chart.

helm repo add sonarqube https://SonarSource.github.io/helm-chart-sonarqube
helm repo update
kubectl create namespace sonarqube
export MONITORING_PASSCODE="yourPasscode"
helm upgrade --install -n sonarqube sonarqube sonarqube/sonarqube --set community.enabled=true,monitoringPasscode=$MONITORING_PASSCODE

• To specify the version to be installed, use the community.buildNumber parameter. By default, the latest version is installed.

• The parameters after --set can also be defined in the Helm chart.

• The monitoring Passcode is required for the helm upgrade operation. See Setting up monitoring for a better way to store the monitoring passcode used to authenticate to the Web API.

Example: installing on OpenShift

The command below:

• Enables OpenShift.

• Deploys a PostgreSQL database for test purposes.

without updating the provided default Helm chart.

helm repo add sonarqube https://SonarSource.github.io/helm-chart-sonarqube
helm repo update
kubectl create namespace sonarqube 
export MONITORING_PASSCODE="yourPasscode"
helm upgrade --install -n sonarqube sonarqube sonarqube/sonarqube \
  --set OpenShift.enabled=true \
