Sonar-Scanner Docker Image

This Docker image contains the SonarQube Scanner command line interface. You can use it to perform static code analysis with SonarQube.

Perform an analysis job

To start an analysis job, run the container from your directory containing the sonar-project.properties configuration file:

docker run --rm --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/project-root -w=/project-root nikhuber/sonar-scanner:latest sonar-scanner

This command maps the working directory on the host to the work directory inside the container. With -w we switch to the mapped work directory. Make sure you map the directory containing the sonar-project.properties file so the sonar scanner can pick it up.

Further customization

You can override the configuration of the sonar-scanner. For example, to override the version, you can append -Dsonar.projectVersion=$VERSION to the command above.

Print configuration information

To print the project configuration information, run the container without starting an analysis job with docker run --rm -it nikhuber/sonar-scanner:latest (omit the command sonar-scanner at the end).
