Hi,
I'm planning to dockerize my sonar installation (so it will be easier to move around and test new sonar versions, mostly as a convenience for myself, it is not supposed to be universal docker container). The only problem that I can find with dockerizing sonarqube is that it uses embedded elasticsearch (which keeps data locally in the installation dir). The question is, how the elasticsearch is currently used and how it is going to be used in the future? Can I safely assume that the es is used only as a local cache for the sql database (so every time I restart sonarqube I can remove the local data safely and it will be restored, the only cost being longer startup time)? If not, then can I use external elasticsearch instance?

Hi,
Elasticsearch is indeed a volatile index of database. It's automatically restored when the data directory is removed, but it can be long, very long. All depends on the number of issues and until v5.1 on the number of lines of code.
Note that the data directory can be moved outside the installation directory thanks to the property sonar.path.data.
can I use external elasticsearch instance?
No, only the embedded instance can be used.
Regards

By "until v5.1", should it be understood "up to and including v5.1", or "up to and excluding v5.1"?
