Installation overview

Main steps for installing SonarQube Server from the Docker image.

SonarQube Server docker images support running both on the amd64 architecture and on arm64-based Apple Silicon.

We recommend using Docker Engine version 20.10 and above.

To install your SonarQube Server (Developer or Enterprise edition) from the Docker image:

1. Check the Server host requirements.

2. Install the database. See Installing database.

3. Prepare the Docker installation. See Prepare the Docker installation

4. Set up and start your Docker container. See Set up and start your container.

5. You can now open SonarQube Server in your web browser at the configured address (by default http://localhost:9000). The default system administrator credentials are admin/admin.

6. Depending on your environment, you may have to perform advanced setup. See Advanced setup.

7. You can secure SonarQube Server behind a proxy (see Securing behind a proxy) and configure network rules (see Network rules).
