SonarQube

Code better in up to 27 languages. Improve Code Quality and Code Security throughout your workflow. SonarQube can detect Bugs, Vulnerabilities, Security Hotspots and Code Smells and give you the guidance to fix them.

Introduction

This chart bootstraps an instance of the latest SonarQube version with a PostgreSQL database. A helm chart is also available for the LTS version.

Please note that this chart only supports SonarQube Community, Developer, and Enterprise Editions.

Compatibility

SonarQube Version Kubernetes Version Helm Chart Version
latest 1.19, 1.20, 1.21 2.0

Installing the chart

To install the chart:

helm repo add sonarqube https://SonarSource.github.io/helm-chart-sonarqube
helm repo update
kubectl create namespace sonarqube
helm upgrade --install -n sonarqube sonarqube sonarqube/sonarqube

The above command deploys Sonarqube on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration in the sonarqube namespace. The configuration section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

The default login is admin/admin.

How to use it

Take some time to read the Deploy on SonarQube on Kubernetes page. SonarQube deployment on Kubernetes has been tested with the recommendations and constraints documented there, and deployment has some limitations.

Uninstalling the chart

To uninstall/delete the deployment:

$ helm list
NAME        REVISION    UPDATED                     STATUS      CHART            NAMESPACE
kindly-newt 1           Mon Oct  2 15:05:44 2017    DEPLOYED    sonarqube-0.1.0  sonarqube
$ helm delete kindly-newt

Upgrade

  1. Read through the SonarQube Upgrade Guide to familiarize yourself with the general upgrade process (most importantly, back up your database)
  2. Change the SonarQube version on values.yaml
  3. Redeploy SonarQube with the same helm chart (see Install instructions)
  4. Browse to http://yourSonarQubeServerURL/setup and follow the setup instructions
  5. Reanalyze your projects to get fresh data

Ingress

Path

Some cloud may need the path to be /* instead of /. Try this first if you are having issues getting traffic through the ingress.

Default Backend

if you use GCP as a cloud provider you need to set a default backend to avoid useless default backend created by the gce controller. To add this default backend you must set "ingress.class" annotation with "gce" or "gce-internal" value.

Example:

---
ingress:
  enabled: true
  hosts:
    - name: sonarqube.example.com
      path: "/*"
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "gce-internal"
    kubernetes.io/ingress.allow-http: "false"

Monitoring

This Helm chart offers the possibilitie to monitor SonarQube with Prometheus. Per default the jmx metrics for the Web Bean and the CE Bean are exposed on port 8000 and 8001. These Values can be configures with prometheusExporter.webBeanPort and prometheusExporter.ceBeanPort.

PodMonitor

if you are using the Prometheus Operator, you can configure a PodMonitor like this to let the scrape configuration automatically be generated by the Operator:

apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1
kind: PodMonitor
metadata:
  name: sonarqube
  namespace: monitoring
spec:
  namespaceSelector:
    matchNames:
    - sonarqube
  podMetricsEndpoints:
  - interval: 30s
    path: /
    scheme: http
    targetPort: monitoring-ce
  - interval: 30s
    path: /
    scheme: http
    targetPort: monitoring-web
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: sonarqube

You can also configure values for the PostgreSQL database via the Postgresql Chart

For overriding variables see: Customizing the chart

Use custom cacerts

In environments with air-gapped setup, especially with internal tooling (repos) and self-signed certificates it is required to provide an adequate cacerts which overrides the default one:

  1. Create a yaml file cacerts.yaml with a secret that contains one or more keys to represent the certificates that you want including

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Secret
    metadata:
      name: my-cacerts
    data:
      cert-1.crt: |
        xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  2. Upload your cacerts.yaml to a secret in the cluster you are installing Sonarqube to.

    kubectl apply -f cacerts.yaml
  3. Set the following values of the chart:

    caCerts:
      enabled: true
      secret: my-cacerts

Elasticsearch Settings

Since SonarQube comes bundled with an Elasticsearch instance, some bootstrap checks of the host settings are done at start.

This chart offers the option to use an initContainer in privilaged mode to automatically set certain kernel settings on the kube worker. While this can ensure proper functionality of Elasticsearch, modifying the underlying kernel settings on the Kubernetes node can impact other users. It may be best to work with your cluster administrator to either provide specific nodes with the proper kernel settings, or ensure they are set cluster wide.

To enable auto-configuration of the kube worker node, set elasticsearch.configureNode to true. This is the default behavior, so you do not need to explicitly set this.

This will run sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144 on the worker where the sonarqube pod(s) get scheduled. This needs to be set to 262144 but normally defaults to 65530. Other kernel settings are recommended by the docker image, but the defaults work fine in most cases.

To disable worker node configuration, set elasticsearch.configureNode to false. Note that if node configuration is not enabled, then you will likely need to also disable the Elasticsearch bootstrap checks. These can be explicitly disabled by setting elasticsearch.bootstrapChecks to false.

Extra Config

For environments where another tool, such as terraform or ansible, is used to provision infrastructure or passwords then setting databases addresses and credentials via helm becomes less than ideal. Ditto for environments where this config may be visible.

In such environments, configuration may be read, via environment variables, from Secrets and ConfigMaps.

  1. Create a ConfigMap (or Secret) containing key/value pairs, as expected by Sonarqube

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: ConfigMap
    metadata:
      name: external-sonarqube-opts
    data:
      SONARQUBE_JDBC_USERNAME: foo
      SONARQUBE_JDBC_URL: jdbc:postgresql://db.example.com:5432/sonar
  2. Set the following in your values.yaml (using the key extraConfig.secrets to reference Secrets)

    extraConfig:
      configmaps:
        - external-sonarqube-opts
