Moving SonarQube to other server

At first I had SonarQube installed together with Jenkins on the same server. SonarQube is quite resource demanding and it was causing slowness of the other jobs / tasks running on Jenkins.

Moving to other instance was simple as installing SonarQube on other server and configuring Jenkins to use new SonarQube instance.

Steps required

• Java runtime environment
• SonarQube binaries
• MSSQL JDBC driver (make sure you get sqljdbc_auth.dll available on PATH)
• SonarQube configuration was copied from old server to new (sonarqube/conf/*)
• SonarQube instance was registered as service and started. 
• Once the service is running then try to access it in browser, if it is not accessible then check logs (sonarqube/logs) and resolve.
• Once the web is up and running there had to be installed language plugins again. 
• Jenkins configuration have to be updated with new SonarQube url (Manage Jenkins > Configure System)
