# How to use this image

## Run SonarQube

The server is started this way:

```console
$ docker run -d --name sonarqube -p 9000:9000 -p 9092:9092 sonarqube
```

To analyse a project:

```console
$ On Linux:
mvn sonar:sonar

$ With boot2docker:
mvn sonar:sonar -Dsonar.host.url=http://$(boot2docker ip):9000 -Dsonar.jdbc.url="jdbc:h2:tcp://$(boot2docker ip)/sonar"
```

## Database configuration

By default, the image will use an embedded H2 database that is not suited for production.

The production database is configured with these variables: `SONARQUBE_JDBC_USERNAME`, `SONARQUBE_JDBC_PASSWORD` and `SONARQUBE_JDBC_URL`.

```console
$ docker run -d --name sonarqube \
	-p 9000:9000 -p 9092:9092 \
	-e SONARQUBE_JDBC_USERNAME=sonar \
	-e SONARQUBE_JDBC_PASSWORD=sonar \
	-e SONARQUBE_JDBC_URL=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/sonar \
	sonarqube
```
