TL;DR

helm install my-release oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/sonarqube

Note: You need to substitute the placeholders REGISTRY_NAME and REPOSITORY_NAME with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository.

Introduction

This chart bootstraps an SonarQube™ cluster on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

Bitnami charts can be used with Kubeapps for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters.

Prerequisites

  • Kubernetes 1.23+
  • Helm 3.8.0+

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

helm install my-release oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/sonarqube

Note: You need to substitute the placeholders REGISTRY_NAME and REPOSITORY_NAME with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io and REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts.

The command deploys SonarQube™ on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The Parameters section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

Tip: List all releases using helm list

Configuration and installation details

Resource requests and limits

Bitnami charts allow setting resource requests and limits for all containers inside the chart deployment. These are inside the resources value (check parameter table). Setting requests is essential for production workloads and these should be adapted to your specific use case.

To make this process easier, the chart contains the resourcesPreset values, which automatically sets the resources section according to different presets. Check these presets in the bitnami/common chart. However, in production workloads using resourcePreset is discouraged as it may not fully adapt to your specific needs. Find more information on container resource management in the official Kubernetes documentation.

Rolling VS Immutable tags

It is strongly recommended to use immutable tags in a production environment. This ensures your deployment does not change automatically if the same tag is updated with a different image.

Bitnami will release a new chart updating its containers if a new version of the main container, significant changes, or critical vulnerabilities exist.

Default kernel settings

Currently, SonarQube™ requires some changes in the kernel of the host machine to work as expected. If those values are not set in the underlying operating system, the SonarQube™ containers fail to boot with ERROR messages. More information about these requirements can be found in the links below:

This chart uses a privileged initContainer to change those settings in the Kernel by running: sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144 && sysctl -w fs.file-max=65536. You can disable the initContainer using the sysctl.enabled=false parameter.

External database support

You may want to have SonarQube™ connect to an external database rather than installing one inside your cluster. Typical reasons for this are to use a managed database service, or to share a common database server for all your applications. To achieve this, set the postgresql.enabled parameter to false and specify the credentials for the external database using the externalDatabase.* parameters. Here is an example:

postgresql.enabled=false
externalDatabase.host=myexternalhost
externalDatabase.user=myuser
externalDatabase.password=mypassword
externalDatabase.database=mydatabase
externalDatabase.port=5432

Ingress

This chart provides support for Ingress resources. If you have an ingress controller installed on your cluster, such as nginx-ingress-controller or contour you can utilize the ingress controller to serve your application.To enable Ingress integration, set ingress.enabled to true.

The most common scenario is to have one host name mapped to the deployment. In this case, the ingress.hostname property can be used to set the host name. The ingress.tls parameter can be used to add the TLS configuration for this host.

However, it is also possible to have more than one host. To facilitate this, the ingress.extraHosts parameter (if available) can be set with the host names specified as an array. The ingress.extraTLS parameter (if available) can also be used to add the TLS configuration for extra hosts.

NOTE: For each host specified in the ingress.extraHosts parameter, it is necessary to set a name, path, and any annotations that the Ingress controller should know about. Not all annotations are supported by all Ingress controllers, but this annotation reference document lists the annotations supported by many popular Ingress controllers.

Adding the TLS parameter (where available) will cause the chart to generate HTTPS URLs, and the application will be available on port 443. The actual TLS secrets do not have to be generated by this chart. However, if TLS is enabled, the Ingress record will not work until the TLS secret exists.

Learn more about Ingress controllers.

TLS secrets

This chart facilitates the creation of TLS secrets for use with the Ingress controller (although this is not mandatory). There are several common use cases:

  • Generate certificate secrets based on chart parameters.
  • Enable externally generated certificates.
  • Manage application certificates via an external service (like cert-manager).
  • Create self-signed certificates within the chart (if supported).

In the first two cases, a certificate and a key are needed. Files are expected in .pem format.

Here is an example of a certificate file:

NOTE: There may be more than one certificate if there is a certificate chain.

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIID6TCCAtGgAwIBAgIJAIaCwivkeB5EMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBCwUAMFYxCzAJBgNV
...
jScrvkiBO65F46KioCL9h5tDvomdU1aqpI/CBzhvZn1c0ZTf87tGQR8NK7v7
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Here is an example of a certificate key:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
MIIEogIBAAKCAQEAvLYcyu8f3skuRyUgeeNpeDvYBCDcgq+LsWap6zbX5f8oLqp4
...
wrj2wDbCDCFmfqnSJ+dKI3vFLlEz44sAV8jX/kd4Y6ZTQhlLbYc=
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
  • If using Helm to manage the certificates based on the parameters, copy these values into the certificate and key values for a given *.ingress.secrets entry.
  • If managing TLS secrets separately, it is necessary to create a TLS secret with name INGRESS_HOSTNAME-tls (where INGRESS_HOSTNAME is a placeholder to be replaced with the hostname you set using the *.ingress.hostname parameter).
  • If your cluster has a cert-manager add-on to automate the management and issuance of TLS certificates, add to *.ingress.annotations the corresponding ones for cert-manager.
  • If using self-signed certificates created by Helm, set both *.ingress.tls and *.ingress.selfSigned to true.

Additional environment variables

In case you want to add extra environment variables (useful for advanced operations like custom init scripts), you can use the extraEnvVars property.

sonarqube:
  extraEnvVars:
    - name: LOG_LEVEL
      value: error

Alternatively, you can use a ConfigMap or a Secret with the environment variables. To do so, use the extraEnvVarsCM or the extraEnvVarsSecret values.

Enable metrics

The chart can optionally start a sidecar exporter for Prometheus to expose JMX metrics. The metrics endpoint is exposed in a separate service.

To start the sidecar Prometheus exporter, set the metrics.jmx.enabled parameter to true when deploying the chart. Refer to the chart parameters for the default port number.

Metrics can be scraped from within the cluster using any of the following approaches:

  • Adding the required annotations in the service for Prometheus to discover the metrics endpoints, as in the example below:

    metrics:
      jmx:
        service:
          annotations:
            prometheus.io/scrape: "true"
            prometheus.io/port: "10443"
            prometheus.io/path: "/"
    
  • Creating a ServiceMonitor (when the Prometheus Operator is available in the cluster). You can do this setting the metrics.serviceMonitor.enabled parameter to true when deploying the chart.

  • Using something similar to the example Prometheus scrape configuration.

If metrics are to be scraped from outside the cluster, the Kubernetes API proxy can be utilized to access the endpoint.

Sidecars

If additional containers are needed in the same pod as SonarQube™ (such as additional metrics or logging exporters), they can be defined using the sidecars parameter.

sidecars:
- name: your-image-name
  image: your-image
  imagePullPolicy: Always
  ports:
  - name: portname
    containerPort: 1234

If these sidecars export extra ports, extra port definitions can be added using the service.extraPorts parameter (where available), as shown in the example below:

service:
  extraPorts:
  - name: extraPort
    port: 11311
    targetPort: 11311

NOTE: This Helm chart already includes sidecar containers for the Prometheus exporters (where applicable). These can be activated by adding the --enable-metrics=true parameter at deployment time. The sidecars parameter should therefore only be used for any extra sidecar containers.

If additional init containers are needed in the same pod, they can be defined using the initContainers parameter. Here is an example:

initContainers:
  - name: your-image-name
    image: your-image
    imagePullPolicy: Always
    ports:
      - name: portname
        containerPort: 1234

Learn more about sidecar containers and init containers.

Pod affinity

This chart allows you to set your custom affinity using the affinity parameter. Find more information about Pod affinity in the kubernetes documentation.

As an alternative, use one of the preset configurations for pod affinity, pod anti-affinity, and node affinity available at the bitnami/common chart. To do so, set the podAffinityPreset, podAntiAffinityPreset, or nodeAffinityPreset parameters.

Persistence

The Bitnami SonarQube™ image stores the SonarQube™ data and configurations at the /bitnami/sonarqube path of the container. Persistent Volume Claims are used to keep the data across deployments.

Adjust permissions of persistent volume mountpoint

As the image run as non-root by default, it is necessary to adjust the ownership of the persistent volume so that the container can write data into it.

By default, the chart is configured to use Kubernetes Security Context to automatically change the ownership of the volume. However, this feature does not work in all Kubernetes distributions.

As an alternative, this chart supports using an initContainer to change the ownership of the volume before mounting it in the final destination. You can enable this initContainer by setting volumePermissions.enabled to true.

PostgreSQL subchart settings

Name Description Value
postgresql.enabled Deploy PostgreSQL subchart true
postgresql.nameOverride Override name of the PostgreSQL chart ""
postgresql.auth.existingSecret Existing secret containing the password of the PostgreSQL chart ""
postgresql.auth.password Password for the postgres user of the PostgreSQL chart (auto-generated if not set) ""
postgresql.auth.username Username to create when deploying the PostgreSQL chart bn_sonarqube
postgresql.auth.database Database to create when deploying the PostgreSQL chart bitnami_sonarqube
postgresql.primary.service.ports.postgresql PostgreSQL service port 5432
postgresql.primary.persistence.enabled Enable PostgreSQL Primary data persistence using PVC true
postgresql.primary.persistence.existingClaim Name of an existing PVC to use ""
postgresql.primary.persistence.storageClass PVC Storage Class for PostgreSQL Primary data volume ""
postgresql.primary.persistence.accessMode PVC Access Mode for PostgreSQL volume ReadWriteOnce
postgresql.primary.persistence.size PVC Storage Request for PostgreSQL volume 8Gi

External Database settings

Name Description Value
externalDatabase.host Host of an external PostgreSQL instance to connect (only if postgresql.enabled=false) ""
externalDatabase.user User of an external PostgreSQL instance to connect (only if postgresql.enabled=false) postgres
externalDatabase.password Password of an external PostgreSQL instance to connect (only if postgresql.enabled=false) ""
externalDatabase.existingSecret Secret containing the password of an external PostgreSQL instance to connect (only if postgresql.enabled=false) ""
externalDatabase.database Database inside an external PostgreSQL to connect (only if postgresql.enabled=false) sonarqube
externalDatabase.port Port of an external PostgreSQL to connect (only if postgresql.enabled=false) 5432

The above parameters map to the env variables defined in bitnami/sonarqube. For more information please refer to the bitnami/sonarqube image documentation.

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

helm install my-release \
  --set sonarqubeUsername=admin \
  --set sonarqubePassword=password \
  --set postgresql.auth.password=secretpassword \
    oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/sonarqube

Note: You need to substitute the placeholders REGISTRY_NAME and REPOSITORY_NAME with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io and REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts.

The above command sets the sonarqube administrator account username and password to admin and password respectively. Additionally, it sets the PostgreSQL postgres user password to secretpassword.

NOTE: Once this chart is deployed, it is not possible to change the application’s access credentials, such as usernames or passwords, using Helm. To change these application credentials after deployment, delete any persistent volumes (PVs) used by the chart and re-deploy it, or use the application’s built-in administrative tools if available.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

helm install my-release -f values.yaml oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/sonarqube

Note: You need to substitute the placeholders REGISTRY_NAME and REPOSITORY_NAME with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io and REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts. Tip: You can use the default values.yaml

Upgrading

To 6.0.0

This major updates the PostgreSQL subchart to its newest major, 16.0.0, which uses PostgreSQL 17.x. Follow the official instructions to upgrade to 17.x.

To 5.0.0

This major bump changes the following security defaults:

  • runAsGroup is changed from 0 to 1001
  • readOnlyRootFilesystem is set to true
  • resourcesPreset is changed from none to the minimum size working in our test suites (NOTE: resourcesPreset is not meant for production usage, but resources adapted to your use case).
  • global.compatibility.openshift.adaptSecurityContext is changed from disabled to auto.

This could potentially break any customization or init scripts used in your deployment. If this is the case, change the default values to the previous ones.

To 4.0.0

This major updates the PostgreSQL subchart to its newest major, 13.0.0. Here you can find more information about the changes introduced in that version.

To 2.0.0

This major updates the PostgreSQL subchart to its newest major, 12.0.0. Here you can find more information about the changes introduced in that version.

To 1.0.0

This major release updates the PostgreSQL subchart to its newest major 11.x.x, which contain several changes in the supported values (check the upgrade notes to obtain more information).

Upgrading Instructions

To upgrade to 1.0.0 from 0.x, it should be done reusing the PVC(s) used to hold the data on your previous release. To do so, follow the instructions below (the following example assumes that the release name is sonarqube and the release namespace default):

  1. Obtain the credentials and the names of the PVCs used to hold the data on your current release:
export SONARQUBE_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret --namespace default sonarqube -o jsonpath="{.data.sonarqube-password}" | base64 --decode)
export POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret --namespace default sonarqube-postgresql -o jsonpath="{.data.postgresql-password}" | base64 --decode)
export POSTGRESQL_PVC=$(kubectl get pvc -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=sonarqube,app.kubernetes.io/name=postgresql,role=primary -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
  1. Delete the PostgreSQL statefulset (notice the option –cascade=false) and secret:
kubectl delete statefulsets.apps --cascade=false sonarqube-postgresql
kubectl delete secret sonarqube-postgresql --namespace default
  1. Upgrade your release using the same PostgreSQL version:
CURRENT_PG_VERSION=$(kubectl exec sonarqube-postgresql-0 -- bash -c 'echo $BITNAMI_IMAGE_VERSION')
helm upgrade sonarqube bitnami/sonarqube \
  --set sonarqubePassword=$SONARQUBE_PASSWORD \
  --set postgresql.image.tag=$CURRENT_PG_VERSION \
  --set postgresql.auth.password=$POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD \
  --set postgresql.persistence.existingClaim=$POSTGRESQL_PVC
  1. Delete the existing PostgreSQL pods and the new statefulset will create a new one:
kubectl delete pod sonarqube-postgresql-0
