How do I install SonarQube with Docker quickly?

Single `docker run` for eval. Use H2 DB. localhost:9000, admin/admin. Don't prod it.

Does SonarQube Docker need PostgreSQL?

Eval: no. Prod: yes. Compose setup above. Healthchecks prevent crashes.

vm.max_map_count=524288. Sysctl it permanent. RAM 4GB+. Check logs.

SonarQube's 'most widely deployed' claim? Eye-roll worthy. But Docker actually makes it bearable – if you don't botch the basics.
