Use SonarQube 8.9 LTS on arm64v8 Docker

Note: SonarQube 8.9 LTS has reached end-of-life. Check the official SonarQube Docker images for current arm64 support before using this approach.

SonarQube 8.9 LTS is a code analysis tool for tracking and improving code quality throughout the development process. However, it does not provide an official arm64v8 Docker image. The following custom Dockerfile resolves this limitation.

Conclusion

This Dockerfile has been running reliably in production for over two years. As SonarQube continues to evolve, official arm64v8 support may be added in future releases.
