Hi Codeberg Team,
I had a lightbulb moment 💡—what if Codeberg could offer its users a fully integrated SonarQube service? Imagine having all your code analyses, quality checks, and bug spotting in one place, ready to go, without users needing to install anything locally.
I’m not just tossing ideas into the void—I’m ready to build it myself and get it running for your community. I can make it smooth, user-friendly, and fully compatible with CI/CD pipelines, so everyone can enjoy safer, cleaner code effortlessly.
Think of it as Codeberg, but with a superhero suit that hunts down code smells 🦸‍♂️💻.
If this sounds like something you’d like to explore, I’d love to chat and make it happen!
Cheers,
Ali Miracle

Hi Ali, the sales pitch isn't that clear to me. In general, if two people step up and get in talks with us, we can make things happen...

but is it suitable in the context of a service like ours? I don't know much about the subject, apart from the headlines involving breaches in SonarQube instances.

Best,

Hey n0toose! 😄

Thanks for your honest feedback! Let me give a bit more context about what SonarQube actually is and how it works, so you can see how it could fit into Codeberg safely and usefully.

SonarQube is basically a code quality and security guardian. 🛡️ It scans code for bugs, vulnerabilities, code smells, and duplication. Think of it as having an automatic code reviewer that never sleeps. Developers use it to:

1. Catch issues early – like spotting potential bugs or security flaws before they make it into production.
2. Maintain code quality – it enforces coding standards, highlights code smells, and encourages best practices.
3. Track improvements over time – you can see dashboards showing how your code evolves and where attention is needed.
4. Integrate with CI/CD pipelines – every time code is pushed or merged, SonarQube can automatically analyze it and provide feedback.

The idea for Codeberg would be to offer a fully integrated, hosted SonarQube service, so users don’t have to install anything locally. Everyone could run code analyses directly on Codeberg, right alongside their repos. Security is key — the service would be isolated, with proper access controls, so the "breach headlines" you mentioned wouldn’t be a concern.

In short, it’s about helping developers write safer, cleaner code effortlessly, without leaving the Codeberg environment. And yes — if someone else wants to join in building it, even better! I can lead the technical side and make sure it’s smooth, community-friendly, and fully compatible with CI/CD workflows.

If you like, I can also draft a small architecture plan showing how this could work safely inside Codeberg.

Cheers,
Ali Miracle

My two cents are that such seemingly LLM-generated advertisements make me believe that this isn't a good fit for Codeberg 😆

Yeah, I find it unnerving that communications are copied and pasted into an opaque web UI, and unfortunately I find this insincere (although I get that many use such tools because they don't feel their English skills are up to speed, or to make them sound more "US American white") and this kind of slop doesn't actually give me any input in who you are, what you do and what your goals are. They are also quite lengthy; if you don't make the effort to type your arguments, why should I spend my time reading them?

I understand that this may come across as harsh, but I hope it serves as a point of improvement for you when interacting with other people that you express your wish to work with.

but is it suitable in the context of a service like ours?

Only two sentences actually tried answering the question I made, but they are extremely generic. That's research I'd expect from people with lightbulb ideas, if they're sincere about making them happen. I'm going to shoot this down for now, sorry.
