Ansible Role: SonarQube

An Ansible Role that installs SonarQube on RedHat/CentOS and Debian/Ubuntu Linux servers.

Requirements

Requires the unzip utility to be installed on the server. Also, different SonarQube versions require different minimum versions of Java:

• SonarQube 5.0-5.5 requires Java 1.7+
• SonarQube 5.6+ requires Java 1.8+

Finally, recent versions of SonarQube also require MySQL 5.6 or later.

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values:

workspace: /root

Directory where downloaded files will be temporarily stored.

sonar_download_validate_certs: true

Controls whether to validate certificates when downloading SonarQube.

sonar_download_url: http://dist.sonar.codehaus.org/sonarqube-4.5.4.zip
sonar_version_directory: sonarqube-4.5.4

The URL from which SonarQube will be downloaded, and the resulting directory name (should match the download archive, without the archive extension).

sonar_web_context: ''

The value of sonar.web.context. Setting this to something like /sonar allows you to set the context where Sonar can be accessed (e.g. hostname/sonar instead of hostname).

sonar_mysql_username: sonar
sonar_mysql_password: sonar

sonar_mysql_host: localhost
sonar_mysql_port: "3306"
sonar_mysql_database: sonar

sonar_mysql_allowed_hosts:
  - 127.0.0.1
  - ::1
  - localhost

JDBC settings for a connection to a MySQL database. Defaults presume the database resides on localhost and is only accessible on the SonarQube server itself.

Dependencies

• geerlingguy.mysql

Example Playbook
