Get SonarQube Community Build running in minutes
Install SonarQube Community Build from the VPSnet Applications catalog, claim secrets in the panel, open when HTTPS is ready, and finish initial setup in the app — without SSH as the default path.
Order a server and install
Order Cloud VPS or VDS, or open an existing service. Install SonarQube Community Build from Applications — safe defaults apply when the recipe allows.
Claim one-time secrets in the panel
Usernames and passwords appear once in the VPSnet panel after install. Copy them when the credentials window opens — they are never emailed.
Open when HTTPS is ready
Most apps use managed HTTPS on a *.vpsnet.cloud host. Wait until the certificate is active, then Open URL from the panel — certificate pending is not an install failure.
Complete initial setup in the app
Sign in with the secrets you claimed (or finish the in-app admin wizard). Complete one real job for SonarQube Community Build. If you enabled Optional packs at install, finish each pack’s first-run inside the app. Restart, logs, update, and uninstall stay in the Applications panel.

How to install SonarQube Community Build on VPSnet
Managed install of SonarQube Community Build from the Applications panel — credentials in-panel, HTTPS included.
- 01. Choose a plan for SonarQube Community BuildOpen the SonarQube Community Build product page and note minimum and recommended vCPU, RAM, and disk. Order a new Cloud VPS or VPS, or use a running server that still has free capacity.
- 02. Install from ApplicationsIn the service panel open Applications → SonarQube Community Build → Install. Choose an access mode and expand Additional settings. If a customer-editable password field is offered, enter your own strong value or leave it empty for VPSnet to generate a random one. Confirm a runtime restart if the panel asks.
- 03. Save one-time credentialsWhen install finishes, the panel shows owner or admin credentials once. Copy them into your password manager immediately — they are never sent by email. If you closed the dialog too early, use the recovery path on that install in Applications.
- 04. Open the managed HTTPS URLWhen SonarQube Community Build exposes a web UI, VPSnet assigns a *.vpsnet.cloud hostname. A short Certificate pending state is normal while DNS and SSL finish. When the status is active, use Open URL in Applications.
