- SVN (should be installed on your Mac by default)
This guide uses a lightweight svn-server docker image called elleFlorio/svn-docker. To set up
-
1 ) Create an svn-root volume to hold your svn-server repos on your docker host
$ docker volume create svn-root
-
2 ) Run the docker container and set your working directory to /home/svn
$ docker run -dit --name svn-server -v svn-root:/home/svn -p 7443:80 -p 3960:3960 -w /home/svn elleflorio/svn-server
-
3 ) Configure a username and password to access http protocol
$ docker exec -t svn-server htpasswd -b /etc/subversion/passwd svnadmin <password>
-
4 ) Verify that the svn services is up and showing 0 repos available
$ svn info svn://localhost:3960/ svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn://localhost:3960' svn: E210005: No repository found in 'svn://localhost:3960'
-
5 ) Log in to your svn server using URL: http://localhost:7443/svn. You should see an empty listing with "Collection of Repositories" string on top
-
6 ) Create a test svn repo using svnadmin command. verify repo exsits both in command line and web page
$ docker exec -it svn-server svnadmin create Test$ docker exec -it svn-server ls -al Test total 16 drwxr-xr-x 8 primetheus staff 272 Jun 7 15:22 . drwxr-xr-x 3 primetheus staff 102 Jun 7 15:22 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 primetheus staff 246 Jun 7 15:22 README.txt drwxr-xr-x 6 primetheus staff 204 Jun 7 15:22 conf drwxr-sr-x 15 primetheus staff 510 Jun 7 15:22 db -r--r--r-- 1 primetheus staff 2 Jun 7 15:22 format drwxr-xr-x 11 primetheus staff 374 Jun 7 15:22 hooks drwxr-xr-x 4 primetheus staff 136 Jun 7 15:22 locks

Let's load a test SVN repository, located here.
- Dump SVN repo to local Docker container
$ docker exec -it svn-server sh -c "svnrdump dump https://svn.code.sf.net/p/ultrastardx/svn | gzip > /tmp/ultrastardx.dump.gz"
- Create new repo to host code
$ docker exec -it svn-server svnadmin create ultrastardx - Load in the SVN dump archive (make sure your dashes and quotes aren't funky here)
$ docker exec -it svn-server sh -c "gunzip -c /tmp/ultrastardx.dump.gz | svnadmin load ultrastardx"
- Check to see that repo has been loaded properly
$ svn info svn://localhost:3960/ultrastardx
