Subversion (SVN)
Installation
-Install Subversion from the repository
$ sudo apt-get install subversion
-Add group subversion
$ sudo addgroup subversion Adding group `subversion' (GID ****) ... Done.
-Add yourself and www-data (the Apache user) as users to this group
$ sudo adduser username subversion Adding user `username' to group `subversion' ... Adding user username to group subversion Done. $ sudo adduser www-data subversion Adding user `www-data' to group `subversion' ... Adding user www-data to group subversion Done.
Create SVN Home
-Create SVN home
$ sudo mkdir /opt/svn $ cd /opt/svn $ sudo mkdir myproject $ sudo chown -R www-data myproject $ sudo chgrp -R subversion myproject $ sudo chmod -R g+rws myproject
-Create repository
$ sudo svnadmin create /opt/svn/myproject
or
$ sudo svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /opt/svn/myproject
-to use WebDAV, repeat the chmod -R g+rws myproject command again as because svnadmin will create directories and files without group write access.
Access via WebDAV protocol (http://)
-Install libapache2-svn
$ sudo apt-get install libapache2-svn ... Enabling module dav. Enabling module dav_svn. Run '/etc/init.d/apache2 restart' to activate new configuration!
-Edit /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf file
<Location /svn/myproject>
DAV svn
SVNPath /opt/svn/myproject
# SVNParentPath /opt/svn/
AuthType Basic
AuthName "lckymn.com subversion repository"
AuthUserFile /etc/subversion/.passwd
<LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
Require valid-user
</LimitExcept>
</Location>
-To set up with multiple virtual hosts create /etc/apache2/sites-available/svn file instead of editing /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf file.
<Location /svn/myproject>
DAV svn
SVNPath /opt/svn/myproject
# SVNParentPath /opt/svn/
AuthType Basic
AuthName "lckymn.com subversion repository"
AuthUserFile /etc/subversion/.passwd
# <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
Require valid-user
# </LimitExcept>
SSLRequireSSL
</Location>
$ cd /etc/apache2/sites-available $ sudo a2ensite svn
-SSLRequireSSL is added to use SSL when accessing svn.
-To limit any connection to the SVN-Server (private SVN), remove the lines <LimitExcept ...> and </LimitExcept>.
<Location /svn/myproject>
DAV svn
SVNPath /opt/svn/myproject
# SVNParentPath /opt/svn/
AuthType Basic
AuthName "lckymn.com subversion repository"
AuthUserFile /etc/subversion/.passwd
# <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
Require valid-user
# </LimitExcept>
</Location>
-use SVNParentPath if there are multiple repositories under a single directory (e.g. /opt/svn/project1, /opt/svn/projec2, /opt/svn/project3)
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
# SVNPath /opt/svn/myproject
SVNParentPath /opt/svn/
AuthType Basic
AuthName "lckymn.com subversion repository"
AuthUserFile /etc/subversion/.passwd
# <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
Require valid-user
# </LimitExcept>
</Location>
-Create user and password
$ sudo htpasswd -c /etc/subversion/.passwd user_name
-Restart Apache server
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Access via WebDAV protocol with SSL encryption (https://)
-Enable SSL in your Apache server.
-Create /etc/apache2/sites-available/svn file and add the following lines.
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerAdmin kevin@lckymn.com
SSLEngine on
SSLOptions +StrictRequire
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/server.key
ServerName svn.yoursite.com
<Location /myproject>
DAV svn
SVNPath /opt/svn/myproject
# SVNParentPath /opt/svn/
AuthType Basic
AuthName "lckymn.com subversion repository"
AuthUserFile /etc/subversion/.passwd
# <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
Require valid-user
# </LimitExcept>
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
-Enable site and restart apache2
$ sudo a2ensite svn $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
-If you have another virtual host using 443 port, make sure you default (or mysite) site file has the following line.
NameVirtualHost *:443
-Now the SVN is accessible through this URL
https://svn.yoursite.com/test
