iF.SVNAdmin SVN Server ( svnadmin )

This container provides a fully fonctionnal subversion server with iF.SVNAdmin as web based GUI.

This build is based on ubuntu 24.04 with php 7.4, mod ssl, and iF.SVNAdmin 1.6.2 (svnadmin).

This isn't an official build and it comes with no warranty ...

How to run

docker run --name svnserver  -p 8080:80 -p 8443:443  -v /localdir/svn:/var/svn/ -v /localdir/keys:/etc/apache2/keys/ -v /localdir/dav_svn:/etc/apache2/dav_svn/ -d clamy54/docker-svn-svnadmin:tag

If /localdir/keys is empty, self-signed ssl certificate will be generated. If /localdir/dav_svn is empty, a new admin account will be created (login : admin, password : admin).

You can access to the web gui on tcp port 8080 (http) or 443 (https)

You can acces svn repositories at https://my-svn-server:8443/svn/repository_name/

Example :

svn checkout --username myuser https://my-svn-server:8443/svn/myrepository ./

Using external CA signed ssl certificate

Stop the container. Copy your CA certificate to /localdir/keys/ca.pem Copy your certificate to /localdir/keys/cert.pem Copy your private key to /localdir/keys/cert.key

Using your own DH parameters file

At first run, if /localdir/keys/dhparams.pem doesn't exists, 2048-bits dh paramaters are generated.

You can generate your own 4096 bits DH parameters and put it in your /localdir/keys/dhparams.pem to replace the self generated 2048-bits DH file.

Volumes

To persist data, theses volumes are exposed and can be mounted to the local filesystem by adding -v option in the command line :

• /var/svn - Subversion repositories
• /etc/apache2/keys/ - SSL keys & certificates
• /etc/apache2/dav_svn/ - Users & authorization files used by mod_dav_svn
• /var/hooks - (Optionnal) if you use subversion hooks, then you can place them here

Environment variables

• DEFAULT_PYTHON : (Optionnal) if set to "2", then /usr/bin/python will points to /usr/bin/python2.7. By default, /usr/bin/python points to /usr/bin/python3.12

Example :

docker container run  --name test-svnadmin  -p 8080:80 -p 8443:443 -e DEFAULT_PYTHON="2" -d clamy54/svn-svnadmin
