Error running sonar-scanner via docker image

Run SonarQube Server as Docker Image:

• \$ docker pull sonarqube:7.9.4-community
• \$ docker run -d --name sonarqube -e SONAR_ES_BOOTSTRAP_CHECKS_DISABLE=true -p 9000:9000 sonarqube:7.9.4-community
• Log in to http://localhost:9000 (login=admin, password=admin)
• (make sure - sonarqube server is running at localhost:9000)

Run SonarScanner as Docker Image:

• \$ docker pull newtmitch/sonar-scanner:4-alpine

• Goto your root directory of the Project

•  \$ docker run -it -v $(pwd):/usr/src --link sonarqube:7.9.4-community newtmitch/sonar-scanner:4-alpine \
       -D sonar.host.url=http://sonarqube:9000 \
       -D sonar.scm.provider=git  \
       -D sonar.projectBaseDir=./src \
       -D sonar.sources=. \
       -D sonar.projectName='Test-Project'
  

• (NOTE: Above I assume that your source code is inside- src folder, if not please change accordingly)

• Go to http://localhost:9000 You will now see a new project - "Test-Project" which has completely analyzed the source code that you ran from your root directory.

• Documentation click

Using "sonarqube-scanner" Package (Alternative for SonarScanner, specific to js/ts language):

• \$ npm i -D sonarqube-scanner

• In package.json add a new script: "sonar": "node sonar-project.js"

• add a file in your root-directory: sonar-project.js

• Copy following code in sonar-project.js:

   const sonarqubeScanner = require('sonarqube-scanner');
   sonarqubeScanner({
   serverUrl: 'http://localhost:9000',
   options: {
     'sonar.sources': 'src',
     'sonar.tests': 'src',
     'sonar.inclusions': 'src/**/*.ts', // Entry point of your code
     'sonar.test.inclusions': 'src/**/*.spec.ts,src/**/*.spec.jsx',
     },
   }, () => {
   console.log('Error Occurred while scanning');                    
   });
  

• \$ npm run sonar

• Documentation click

A bit late, but here is a solution:

docker run --rm -e SONAR_HOST_URL="https://sonarqube.comp.com/" -v "/git/franchises" sonarsource/sonar-scanner-cli -Dsonar.projectKey=my-app

As stated in https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-scanner-cli-docker/issues/26, you can append any -Dsonar.xxx property.

I'm late to the party, but you can also use the .properties file, except it should be named sonar-project.properties.
