Answer 1

Is there today a mean to use the update center for these plugins ?

In sonar.properties use sonar.web.javaAdditionalOpts parameter to declare https.proxyXXX properties :

sonar.web.javaAdditionalOpts=-Dhttps.proxyHost=proxy.company.com -Dhttps.proxyPort=80 -Dhttps.proxyUser=myUser -Dhttps.proxyPassword=myPassword

NB :

• https.proxyUser/https.proxyPassword are useless if the same as http.proxyUser/http.proxyPassword further in the configuration.
• This answer has been tested with SonarQube v4.5 series

Perhaps one day some specific properties will be available in SonarQube config :-).

Answer 2

I tried updating sonar.web.javaAdditionalOpts in sonar.properties, but the settings were not picked up (using sonarqube:5.1.1 docker image).

I had to adapt the startup script:

My docker command:

RUN sed -i -e 's/-Djava.security.egd=/-Dhttps.proxyHost=proxy.mycompany.com -Dhttps.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.mycompany.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -Djava.security.egd=/g' /opt/sonarqube/bin/run.sh

Answer 3

The properties https.proxyHost and https.proxyPort are finally supported in SonarQube 5.5. Thanks Alix for the feedback. https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONAR-7429
