Manual SVN setup

[TheTrueCoder]

My setup follows this guide pretty closely with key diffrences outlined below.

• I install the apache server using sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-svn because the libapache2-svn package is not available on Ubuntu 20.04LTS which is what I'm running on my pi.
• To make the remote server work I had to make the root folder of the drive I was using executable as according to this StackOverflow answer.
• I added SVNListParentPath On in the dav_svn.conf so I can view all the repos on the server.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04LTS 64bit on a Raspberry Pi 4 2GB.

Commonly used commands include:

• To make a new user run sudo htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd <New Username>.
• To create a new repo, run sudo svnadmin create /mnt/extssd/svn_repos/<Repo Name>.
• Run sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /mnt/extssd/svn_repos/ to set file ownership to the server account so it can be accessed properly.
• Run sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart to restart the server after config changes.
• The URL to the repo is similar to http://192.168.1.2/svn/<Repo Name>.
