How to setup and run Sonarqube in local environment

You can use this following command to start scan your project:

    --rm \
    -v "${YOUR_REPO/PATH_TO_PROJECT}:/usr/src" \
    --network="host" \
    -e SONAR_HOST_URL="${SONARQUBE_URL}" \
    -e SONAR_SCANNER_OPTS="-Dsonar.projectKey=${YOUR_PROJECT_KEY}" \
    -e SONAR_TOKEN="${YOUR_TOKEN}" \
    sonarsource/sonar-scanner-cli
