Implementing SonarQube: A Simple Proof of Concept using Docker

Let's walk through a basic setup of SonarQube using Docker, analyzing a simple Java backend and static front-end page.

Start SonarQube Server:

bash

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

Create a sample project:

index.html (Front-end)
App.java (Backend)

Install SonarScanner:
Download and extract SonarScanner from the official website.
Create a sonar-project.properties file:

Text

sonar.projectKey=my_project sonar.sources=.

Run the analysis:

bash

path/to/sonar-scanner

View the results in the SonarQube dashboard at http://localhost:9000.

This simple setup demonstrates how easily teams can start benefiting from static code analysis.

Let's look at a sample code with a simple java app, along with simple Jenkins pipeline and GitHub Actions workflow for a proof of concept (POC) demonstrating SonarQube integration.

Best Practices to clean up GitHub Actions Workspace

GitHub Actions is a powerful and popular automation tool that allows developers to automate their software workflows. It provides an environment for running scripts, testing code, and deploying applications. One of the key features of GitHub Actions is its ability to create a workspace where code can be checked out and built. However, as with any tool that generates files, GitHub Actions can create clutter in the workspace. This clutter can cause issues with build failures, errors, and storage limitations. Therefore, it is essential to properly clean up the GitHub Actions workspace after every job. In this blog, we will discuss how to clean up the workspace and the best practices to follow. What is the GitHub Actions Workspace? The GitHub Actions workspace is a directory in the runner machine that GitHub creates for each job in a workflow. It is the working directory where code is checked out, built, and processed during the workflow. The workspace directory can be accessed using

Step-by-Step Guide: Building a Highly Available Container Registry with Amazon ECR and Integrating it with AWS EKS

AWS ECR Introduction: Building a highly available container registry is crucial for businesses adopting containerized applications. Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) offers a reliable and scalable solution for storing and managing container images, while Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) provides a powerful container orchestration platform. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of setting up a highly available container registry with Amazon ECR and integrating it with AWS EKS. By following these steps, businesses can leverage the benefits of a robust container registry and seamlessly deploy applications on EKS. Step 1: Set Up an Amazon ECR Repository 1. Log in to the AWS Management Console and navigate to the Amazon ECR service. 2. Click on "Create repository" to create a new repository. 3. Provide a name for the repository and configure repository policies to control access and permissions. 4. Choose the region where

Step-by-Step Configuration Guide: Using AWS CloudTrail for Auditing and Compliance

AWS CloudTrail is an indispensable service for auditing and maintaining compliance in your AWS environment.
