|svn| With Write Over HTTP

To use |svn| with write access, the currently supported method is over HTTP. This requires you to configure your local machine so that it can access your |RCE| instance.

Prerequisites

  • Enable lab setting on your |RCE| instance, see :ref:`lab-settings`.
  • You need to install the following tools on your local machine: Apache and mod_dav_svn. Use the following Ubuntu as an example.
$ sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-svn

Once installed you need to enable dav_svn:

$ sudo a2enmod dav_svn

Configuring Apache Setup

Tip

It is recommended to run Apache on a port other than 80, due to possible conflicts with other HTTP servers like nginx. To do this, set the Listen parameter in the /etc/apache2/ports.conf file, for example Listen 8090

It is also recommended to run apache as the same user as |RCE|, otherwise permission issues could occur. To do this edit the /etc/apache2/envvars

export APACHE_RUN_USER=ubuntu
export APACHE_RUN_GROUP=ubuntu
  1. To configure Apache, create and edit a virtual hosts file, for example :file:`/etc/apache2/sites-available/default.conf`, or create another virtual hosts file and add a location section inside the <VirtualHost> section.
<Location />
    DAV svn
    # Must be explicit path, relative not supported
    SVNParentPath /PATH/TO/REPOSITORIES
    SVNListParentPath On
    Allow from all
    Order allow,deny
</Location>

Note

Once configured, check that you can see the list of repositories on your |RCE| instance.

  1. Go to the :menuselection:`Admin --> Settings --> Labs` page, and enable :guilabel:`Proxy Subversion HTTP requests`, and specify the :guilabel:`Subversion HTTP Server URL`.

Using |svn|

Once |svn| has been enabled on your instance, you can use it using the following examples. For more |svn| information, see the Subversion Red Book

# To clone a repository
svn clone http://my-svn-server.example.com/my-svn-repo

# svn commit
svn commit
