Reduce the environmental footprint of your Android apps with SonarQube

Mobile apps running on top of battery-limited devices are more than others concerned by the reduction of their environmental footprint. Hence, we created ecoCode mobile, the version of ecoCode project fully dedicated to mobile platforms. It provides static code analyzers to highlight code structures that may have a negative ecological impact: energy over-consumption, "fatware", shortening devices' lifespan, etc.

ecoCode mobile is based on evolving catalogs of best practices, for Android and iOS. A SonarQube plugin then implements these catalogs as rules for scanning your projects. To learn more, take a look at the complete presentation (in french) or the presentation in a nutshell (in english).

🚀 Quickstart

A SonarQube container image with ecoCode mobile embedded exists !

docker run -ti --rm \
       -v sq_ecocode_mobile_logs:/opt/sonarqube/logs \
       -v sq_ecocode_mobile_data:/opt/sonarqube/data \
       -p 9000:9000 \
       --name sonarqube-ecocode-mobile  \
       ghcr.io/green-code-initiative/sonarqube-ecocode-mobile:latest

Wait a little bit during first start initialization, and go to http://localhost:9000. Default credentials are admin/admin
