A quick Sonar scanner (command line) container.

https://hub.docker.com/r/newtmitch/sonar-scanner/

This Dockerfile sets up the command line scanner vs. any other existing analysis method. For other analysis methods, see the bottom of this page:

http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Analyzing+Source+Code

For details on running the command line scanner:

http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SCAN/Analyzing+with+SonarQube+Scanner

and for a list of command-line options: http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Analysis+Parameters

Using the official Sonar Qube Docker image:

docker run -d --name sonarqube -p 9000:9000 -p 9092:9092 sonarqube
docker run -ti -v $(pwd):/root/src --link sonarqube newtmitch/sonar-scanner

Run this from the root of your source code directory, it'll scan everything below it.

This uses the latest Qube image - if you want LTS, use image name sonarqube:lts.

To run the scanner you must have a Sonar Qube running. If you don't already have a Qube instance running somewhere, you can start one via Docker using the official Docker image or the variant I have below.

If you prefer to use an official Sonar Qube image, run the following command. Note that if you need a particular version of Sonar Qube, you need to use something like sonarqube:5.2 instead of what's shown below.

docker run -d --name sonarqube -p 9000:9000 -p 9092:9092 sonarqube

If you prefer a server build that automatically sets the timezone when you start it you can use the custom image variant I have here per the command below. If you omit the TZ parameter, it'll default to CST.

docker run -d --name sonarqube -e "TZ=America/Chicago" -p 9000:9000 -p 9092:9092 newtmitch/sonar-server

After your server is running, run the following command from the command line to start the scanner. This uses the default settings in the sonar-runner.properties file, which you can overload with -D commands (see below).

docker run -ti -v $(pwd):/root/src --link sonarqube newtmitch/sonar-scanner 

Replace "$(pwd)" with the absolute path of the top-level source directly you're interested in if you're not running the docker image from the top level project directory. It will scan everything under that directory when it starts up.

The supplied sonar-runner.properties file points to http://192.168.99.100 as the Qube server. If you need to change that or any other of the variables that Scanner needs to run, you can pass them in with the command itself to override them:

docker run -ti -v $(pwd):/root/src --link sonarqube newtmitch/sonar-scanner sonar-scanner sonar.host.url=YOURURL -Dsonar.projectBaseDir=./src

or if you're running the newtmitch/sonar-scanner:2.5.1 image, because the script name changed between 2.5.1 and 3.0.3 at some point:

docker run -ti -v $(pwd):/root/src --link sonarqube newtmitch/sonar-scanner sonar-runner sonar.host.url=YOURURL -Dsonar.projectBaseDir=./src

Here's a fully-loaded command line (based on latest/3.0.3 version) that basically overrides everything from the sonar-runner.properties file on the command-line itself. The settings shown here match those in the sonar-runner.properties file.

docker run -ti -v $(pwd):/root/src --link sonarqube newtmitch/sonar-scanner sonar-scanner \
  -Dsonar.host.url=http://sonarqube:9000 \
  -Dsonar.jdbc.url=jdbc:h2:tcp://sonarqube/sonar \
  -Dsonar.projectKey=MyProjectKey \
  -Dsonar.projectName="My Project Name" \
  -Dsonar.projectVersion=1 \
  -Dsonar.projectBaseDir=/root \
  -Dsonar.sources=./src

To build this scanner image, just issue a standard Docker build command - make sure to specify the Dockerfile that you're building:

docker build -t my-sonar-scanner -f Dockerfile.sonarscanner-3.0.3-alpine .

To build the customized Sonar Qube server, run the following command. See the Server image section below for details on this image build.

docker build -t my-sonar-server -f Dockerfile.server .

I've also included Dockerfile.server, which uses the sonarqube:latest image as a basis and basically puts in the mechanism to update the server time to a user-defined time zone vs. the default (correct time reporting for analyzer runs).

You can modify the Dockerfile to update the timezone, or just pass in the environment variable on-demand (assumes you build it with tag mitch/sonarqube). If you omit the TZ setting it'll default to CST.

docker run -d --name sonarqube -e "TZ=America/Chicago" -p 9000:9000 -p 9092:9092 newtmitch/sonar-server
