In the fourth part of my Raspberry Pi CI/CD pipeline series, I integrated SonarQube into the workflow for continuous code quality and security. I installed SonarQube on my Raspberry Pi Cluster, utilizing a custom Docker image. Additionally, I replaced Gitea with Gitlab for enhanced compatibility with SonarQube. I built and deployed Gitlab on the cluster, managing persistent storage with Longhorn volumes. For seamless integration, I configured Gitlab settings, created a Jenkins user, and set up access tokens. Lastly, I prepared Jenkins by installing necessary plugins and establishing connections with Gitlab. The result is an extended CI/CD pipeline with SonarQube, Jenkins, and Gitlab on a Raspberry Pi Cluster.
