Subversion (SVN) is an extensively used version control answer which assistance in storing files of many versions, similar source code and documents.
In this object, I will show you how to setup SVN server on a CentOS 7 server instance.
Update the Centos 7 server: –
yum update -y
once update complete reboot the server.
Reboot
install firewalld:-
yum install firewalld -y
To enable firewalld, run the following command as root:
systemctl enable firewalld
Start Firewalld
To start firewalld, run the following command as root:
systemctl start firewalld
Check the Status of Firewalld
To check the status of firewalld, run the following command as root:
systemctl status firewalld
Install Apache(httpd):-
yum install httpd
Remove Apache’s httpd default page:-
sed -i ‘s/^/#&/g’ /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf
Stop Apache httpd from showing records in the “/var/www/html” directory:-
sed -i “s/Options Indexes FollowSymLinks/Options FollowSymLinks/” /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Install SVN and the mod_dav_svn module:-
yum install subversion mod_dav_svn
Configure SVN:-
vi /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/10-subversion.conf
Add the following section:-
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /svn
AuthName “SVN Repos”
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/svn/svn-auth
AuthzSVNAccessFile /svn/authz
Require valid-user
Save and quit:-
:wq!
Create an SVN repo:-
mkdir /svn
cd /svn
svnadmin create repo1
chown -R apache:apache repo1
Setup SVN user accounts:-
mkdir /etc/svn
htpasswd -cm /etc/svn/svn-auth user1
chown root:apache /etc/svn/svn-auth
chmod 640 /etc/svn/svn-auth
If you want to create more SVN user accounts, refer to the following commands:
sudo htpasswd -m /etc/svn/svn-auth user2
sudo htpasswd -m /etc/svn/svn-auth user3
Setup permissions for users:-
cp /svn/repo1/conf/authz /svn/authz
vi /svn/authz
Add the following section:-
[groups]
admin=user1
repo1_user=user2
repo1_trainee=user3
[/]
@admin=rw
[repo1:/]
@repo1_user=rw
@repo1_trainee=r
Save and quit:-
:wq!
Start Apache and modify firewall rules:-
Start Apache:-
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
Open the HTTP service port:
sudo firewall-cmd –zone=public –permanent –add-service=http
sudo firewall-cmd –reload
Finally, use the following path to access the SVN repo “repo1” on your server from an SVN client:
http://your ip/svn/repo1
That concludes our blog.
