If you are trying to update SonarQube to a higher version you might get org.sonar.process.MessageException: Property 'node.store.allow_mmapfs' is no longer supported. Let’s see how to fix it.
Prerequisites
- sudo privileges
Solution
The SonarQube docker image will try to spin up a new ElasticSearch service, so the important thing is that allow_mmapfs is deprecated since ES version 6.7.
To fix the issue you need to find the sonar.search.javaAdditionalOpts option in the env variables and change the value.
You need to change allow_mmapfs
- Name: SONAR_SEARCH_JAVAADDITIONALOPTS
Value: -Dnode.store.allow_mmapfs=false
with allow_mmap
- Name: SONAR_SEARCH_JAVAADDITIONALOPTS
Value: -Dnode.store.allow_mmap=false
Restart the service and you shouldn’t be getting the error.
