portThe connection port of the database. Ensure that the SonarQube service can connect to this database port.No, only required when creating a SonarQube instance through a template.5432
usernameThe database account username.No, only required when creating a SonarQube instance through a template.postgres
jdbc-passwordThe database password.Yes
databaseThe database name. This database must already exist and be empty. You can use the command create database <database name> to create a database.No, only required when creating a SonarQube instance through a template.sonar_db

YAML example:

apiVersion: v1
stringData:
  host: 192.168.1.1
  port: 5432
  username: postgres
  jdbc-password: pg-password

How to Create a Database on a PG Instance

Connect to the PG instance using the psql cli and execute the following command to create a database:

create database <database name>;

metadata:
  name: sonarqube-root-password
