File name: docker-compose.yaml

version: "3"
services:
  sonarqube:
    image: sonarqube:8.2-community
    depends_on:
      - db
    ports:
      - "9000:9000"
    networks:
      - sonarqubenet
    environment:
      SONAR_JDBC_URL: jdbc:postgresql://db:5432/sonarqube
      SONAR_JDBC_USERNAME: sonar
      SONAR_JDBC_PASSWORD: sonar
    volumes:
      - sonarqube_data:/opt/sonarqube/data
      - sonarqube_extensions:/opt/sonarqube/extensions
      - sonarqube_logs:/opt/sonarqube/logs
      - sonarqube_temp:/opt/sonarqube/temp
    restart: on-failure
    container_name: sonarqube
  db:
    image: postgres:12-bullseye
    networks:
      - sonarqubenet
    environment:
      POSTGRES_DB: "sonarqube"
      POSTGRES_USER: sonar
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: sonar
    volumes:
      - postgresql:/var/lib/postgresql
      - postgresql_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    restart: on-failure
    container_name: postgresql

networks:
  sonarqubenet:
    driver: bridge
    
volumes:
  sonarqube_data:
  sonarqube_extensions:
  sonarqube_logs:
  sonarqube_temp:
  postgresql:
  postgresql_data:

Once saved the above yaml file in a docker-compose.yaml file then execute the command below,

docker-compose up -d

the outputs:
