## Running SonarQube as a Service on Windows

### Install/uninstall NT service (may have to run these files via Run As Administrator):

```
%SONARQUBE_HOME%/bin/windows-x86-32/InstallNTService.bat
%SONARQUBE_HOME%/bin/windows-x86-32/UninstallNTService.bat
```

### Start/stop the service:

```
%SONARQUBE_HOME%/bin/windows-x86-32/StartNTService.bat
%SONARQUBE_HOME%/bin/windows-x86-32/StopNTService.bat
```

## Running SonarQube as a Service on Linux

The following has been tested on Ubuntu 8.10 and CentOS 6.2.

Create the file /etc/init.d/sonar with this content:

```
#!/bin/sh
#
# rc file for SonarQube
#
# chkconfig: 345 96 10
# description: SonarQube system (www.sonarsource.org)
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: sonar
# Required-Start: $network
# Required-Stop: $network
# Default-Start: 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 2 6
# Short-Description: SonarQube system (www.sonarsource.org)
# Description: SonarQube system (www.sonarsource.org)
### END INIT INFO
 
/usr/bin/sonar $*
```

Register SonarQube at boot time (Ubuntu, 32 bit):

```
sudo ln -s $SONAR_HOME/bin/linux-x86-32/sonar.sh /usr/bin/sonar
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/sonar
sudo update-rc.d sonar defaults
```

Register SonarQube at boot time (RedHat, CentOS, 64 bit):

```
sudo ln -s $SONAR_HOME/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh /usr/bin/sonar
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/sonar
sudo chkconfig --add sonar
```

## Securing the Server Behind a Proxy

This section helps you configure the SonarQube Server if you want to run it behind a proxy. This can be done for security concerns or to consolidate multiple disparate applications.

### Server Configuration

To run the SonarQube server over HTTPS, you must build a standard reverse proxy infrastructure.

The reverse proxy must be configured to set the value "X_FORWARDED_PROTO: https" in each HTTP request header. Without this property, redirection initiated by the SonarQube server will fall back on HTTP.

### Using an Apache Proxy

We assume that you've already installed Apache 2 with module mod_proxy, that SonarQube is running and available on http://private_sonar_host:sonar_port/ and that you want to configure a Virtual Host for www.public_sonar.com.

At this point, edit the HTTPd configuration file for the www.public_sonar.com virtual host. Include the following to expose SonarQube via mod_proxy at http://www.public_sonar.com/:

```
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName www.public_sonar.com
  ServerAdmin admin@somecompany.com
  ProxyPass / http://private_sonar_host:sonar_port/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://www.public_sonar.com/
  ErrorLog logs/somecompany/sonar/error.log
  CustomLog logs/somecompany/sonar/access.log common
</VirtualHost>
```

Apache configuration is going to vary based on your own application's requirements and the way you intend to expose SonarQube to the outside world. If you need more details about Apache HTTPd and mod_proxy, please see [http://httpd.apache.org](http://httpd.apache.org).

### Using Nginx

We assume that you've already installed Nginx, that you are using a Virtual Host for www.somecompany.com and that SonarQube is running and available on http://sonarhost:sonarport/.

At this point, edit the Nginx configuration file. Include the following to expose SonarQube at http://www.somecompany.com/:

```
# the server directive is nginx's virtual host directive
server {
  # port to listen on. Can also be set to an IP:PORT
  listen 80;
 
  # sets the domain[s] that this vhost server requests for
  server_name www.somecompany.com;
 
  location / {
    proxy_pass http://sonarhost:sonarport;
  }
}
```

Nginx configuration will vary based on your own application's requirements and the way you intend to expose SonarQube to the outside world. If you need more details about Nginx, please see [https://www.nginx.com/resources/admin-guide/reverse-proxy/](https://www.nginx.com/resources/admin-guide/reverse-proxy/).

Note that you may need to increase the max URL length since SonarQube requests can have URLs longer than 2048.

### Using IIS
