Marketplace

Administrators can access the Marketplace via Administration > Marketplace. The Marketplace is the place for keeping the pieces of the SonarQube platform up to date. It lets you:

See

The currently installed SonarQube Edition
Which plugins are installed
Whether plugin updates are available
Which other plugins are compatible with your version of SonarQube

Discover

Which other Editions are available, to enable more features

Install

New plugins
Plugin updates

To view/install plugin updates, your SonarQube server needs internet access. Installations require the platform to be restarted before they take effect.

Pending Operations

When you perform an action in the Markplace (install, update or uninstall a plugin), a yellow banner appears at the top of the page showing pending operations that will be executed once SonarQube is restarted. Pending operations can be canceled until the server is restarted.

Restart SonarQube

Restarting SonarQube can be done manually from the command line by running sonar.sh restart or directly from the UI:

in the Update Center when you have Pending Changes, the restart button will be displayed in the yellow banner (see Pending Operations)
in the System Info page at any time

Manual Updates

If your server has no access to the internet, you won't be able to rely on the Marketplace for plugins, and will have to handle plugin installations and upgrades manually.

To see what plugins are available and which version of a plugin is appropriate for your server, use the plugin version matrix, which is kept up to date with current plugin availability and compatibility.

To install a plugin, simply download it using the manual download link on the plugin documentation page, place it in $SONARQUBE-HOME/extensions/downloads, and restart the server.

Which URLs does the Marketplace connect to?

The SonarQube Marketplace connects to https://update.sonarsource.org/ to get the list of plugins. Most of the referenced plugins are downloaded from:

Using the Marketplace behind a Proxy

Marketplace uses HTTP(S) connections to external servers to provide these services. If SonarQube is located behind a proxy, additional information must be provided in the $SONARQUBE-HOME/conf/sonar.properties configuration file:

http.proxyHost=<your.proxy.host>
http.proxyPort=<yout.proxy.port>

#If proxy authentication is required
http.proxyUser=<your.proxy.user>
http.proxyPassword=<your.proxy.password>

Note: the same properties can be used in the 'https.' form for HTTPS connections.
