## TL;DR

```console
$ helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
$ helm install my-release bitnami/sonarqube
```

## Introduction

This chart bootstraps an [SonarQube](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-sonarqube) cluster on a [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager.

Bitnami charts can be used with [Kubeapps](https://kubeapps.com/) for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters.

## Prerequisites

- Kubernetes 1.19+
- Helm 3.2.0+
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure
- ReadWriteMany volumes for deployment scaling

## Installing the Chart

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

```console
$ helm install my-release bitnami/sonarqubes
```

The command deploys SonarQube on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [Parameters](#parameters) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

> **Tip**: List all releases using `helm list`

## Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the `my-release` deployment:

```console
$ helm delete my-release
```

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

### 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.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](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-sonarqube). For more information please refer to the [bitnami/sonarqube](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-sonarqube) image documentation.

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

```console
$ helm install my-release \
  --set sonarqubeUsername=admin \
  --set sonarqubePassword=password \
  --set postgresql.postgresqlPassword=secretpassword \
    bitnami/sonarqube
```

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,

```console
$ helm install my-release -f values.yaml bitnami/sonarqube
```

> **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](values.yaml)

## Configuration and installation details

### [Rolling VS Immutable tags](https://docs.bitnami.com/containers/how-to/understand-rolling-tags-containers/)

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:

- [File Descriptor requirements](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/file-descriptors.html)
- [Virtual memory requirements](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/vm-max-map-count.html)

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.

Refer to the [chart documentation on using an external database](https://docs.bitnami.com/kubernetes/apps/sonarqube/configuration/use-external-database) for more details and an example.

### Ingress

This chart provides support for Ingress resources. If you have an ingress controller installed on your cluster, such as [nginx-ingress-controller](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/master/bitnami/nginx-ingress-controller) or [contour](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/master/bitnami/contour) you can utilize the ingress controller to serve your application.

To enable Ingress integration, set `ingress.enabled` to `true`. 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. It is also possible to have more than one host, with a separate TLS configuration for each host. [Learn more about configuring and using Ingress](https://docs.bitnami.com/kubernetes/apps/sonarqube/configuration/configure-ingress/).

### TLS secrets

The chart also facilitates the creation of TLS secrets for use with the Ingress controller, with different options for certificate management. [Learn more about TLS secrets](https://docs.bitnami.com/kubernetes/apps/sonarqube/administration/enable-tls-ingress/).

### 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.

```yaml
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.

### 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. If these sidecars export extra ports, extra port definitions can be added using the `service.extraPorts` parameter. [Learn more about configuring and using sidecar containers](https://docs.bitnami.com/kubernetes/apps/sonarqube/configuration/configure-sidecar-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](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/assign-pod-node/#affinity-and-anti-affinity).

As an alternative, use one of the preset configurations for pod affinity, pod anti-affinity, and node affinity available at the [bitnami/common](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/master/bitnami/common#affinities) chart. To do so, set the `podAffinityPreset`, `podAntiAffinityPreset`, or `nodeAffinityPreset` parameters.

## Persistence

The [Bitnami SonarQube](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-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`.
