Implementing SonarQube: A Simple Proof of Concept using Docker

Let's walk through a basic setup of SonarQube using Docker, analyzing a simple Java backend and static front-end page.

1. Start SonarQube Server:

bash

docker run -d --name sonarqube -p 9000:9000 sonarqube:latest

2. Create a sample project:
• index.html (Front-end)
• App.java (Backend)
3. Install SonarScanner:
   Download and extract SonarScanner from the official website.
4. Create a sonar-project.properties file:

Text

sonar.projectKey=my_project sonar.sources=.

5. Run the analysis:

bash

path/to/sonar-scanner

6. View the results in the SonarQube dashboard at http://localhost:9000.

This simple setup demonstrates how easily teams can start benefiting from static code analysis.

 
Let's look at a sample code with a simple java app, along with simple Jenkins pipeline and GitHub Actions workflow for a proof of concept (POC) demonstrating SonarQube integration.
