SonarQube Docker images

Run a self-managed SonarQube instance in a container and make code quality and security analysis available to local and CI workflows.

What the image provides

• Official SonarQube images for the Community Build and supported commercial editions.
• Versioned tags for repeatable local, test, and production deployments.
• A containerized SonarQube runtime that scanners can send analysis results to.
• Configuration and tag guidance maintained through the Docker Official Images documentation.

The image runs the same SonarQube analysis for developer-written and AI-generated code. Scanners analyze a project and send the results to the running SonarQube instance, where teams can review explainable findings and enforce quality gates.

The SonarQube product line

• SonarQube Community Build, the open-source server provided by this image.
• SonarQube Server, the self-managed product with additional capabilities.
• SonarQube Cloud, the hosted SonarQube service.
• SonarQube for IDE, real-time analysis while you write or generate code.
• SonarQube MCP Server, bringing SonarQube analysis into AI agent workflows.
• SonarQube CLI, running analysis from the command line.
