Installing Helm chart

How to install the Helm chart for SonarQube Server’s Developer or Enterprise Edition.

Once you have customized the 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 Server Helm chart( If you want to deploy the SonarQube Server LTA version, you should install the LTA Helm chart, see the Helm chart documentation):

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 edition=developer,monitoringPasscode=$MONITORING_PASSCODE

• You must explicitly set the edition parameter to either developer or enterprise.

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

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 \
  --set postgresql.securityContext.enabled=false \
  --set OpenShift.createSCC=false \
