SonarQube: Error when running it as a Windows Service

After installing SonarQube, you can run it as a Windows Service by executing the InstallNTService.bat file inside the %SONARQUBE_HOME%/bin/windows-x86-32/InstallNTService.bat folder.

However when I tried to do this, it failed silently and I only saw the following on the command line:

--> Wrapper Started as Service

Launching a JVM...

Wrapper (Version 3.2.3) http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org

<—Wrapper Stopped

Luckily the documentation brought the answer.By default the SonarQube windows service is installed under a local account but you need administrative permissions to be able to run SonarQube.

Here are the steps to fix it:

  • Open the list of installed services on your system(search for services.msc)
  • Right click on the SonarQube service in the list
  • Click on Properties
  • Go to the LogOn tab
  • Change the LogOn from a Local System Account to another account with administrative permissions

A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t
