How to Install PostgreSQL for SonarQube on Ubuntu 16.04
In this tutorial, we will be installing and configuring SonarQube on an Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance with Ubuntu 16.04.
Update Your Ubuntu System
Before proceeding with installation of any kind of package, use the following command to update your Ubuntu system. To execute this command, remember to login from non-root user with sudo privileges.
# sudo apt update && sudo apt upgradeInstall PostgreSQL
SonarQube supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL and Oracle. In this tutorial, I will use PostgreSQL as MySQL is not recommended for large instances. For using MySQL, you can only use bundled mysql-connector-java. InnoDB engine is a must in MySQL. To avoid such restrictions, I strongly recommend using PostgreSQL. Follow the steps below to install PostgreSQL.
Step 1: Install PostgreSQL repo.
# sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ `lsb_release -cs`-pgdg main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list'
# wget -q https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc -O - | sudo apt-key add -Step 2: Now install the PostgreSQL server by executing the command below.
# sudo apt-get -y install postgresql postgresql-contribStep 3: Execute the following command to start and enable PostgreSQL server so that it can start automatically after reboot.
# sudo systemctl start postgresql
# sudo systemctl enable postgresqlThen you can create directory and set permissions to prepare for the installation of SonarQube following this tutorial.
