Create a SonarQube instance using Docker.

You will need to have Docker installed on your machine.

1. Pull the latest version of the SonarQube image from Docker Hub:

docker pull sonarqube

1. Run the SonarQube container, mapping the container’s internal port 9000 to an unused host port of your choice (e.g. 9000):

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

1. Wait a few minutes for the SonarQube instance to fully start up, and then visit http://localhost:9000 in a web browser to access the SonarQube web UI.
2. If you want to persist data across restarts of the SonarQube container, you can add a volume mapping for the container’s /opt/sonarqube/data directory:

docker run -d — name sonarqube -p 9000:9000 -v /my/host/path:/opt/sonarqube/data sonarqube

This will store the SonarQube data on the host in the specified directory, so that it is not lost when the container is stopped or removed.
