Subversion
Subversion is a centralized version-control system. It can use a variety of protocols for communication between client and server.
Subversion inside Apache HTTP
This section focuses on configuring a web-based server on top of the Apache HTTP server, which uses WebDAV/DeltaV for communication.
For more information on the general setup, please refer to the the appropriate section of the Subversion book.
To configure, include in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix code to activate
Apache HTTP, setting
appropriately:
{
services.httpd.enable = true;
services.httpd.adminAddr = "...";
networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 80 443 ];
}
For a simple Subversion server with basic authentication, configure the
Subversion module for Apache as follows, setting hostName and
documentRoot appropriately, and SVNParentPath to the parent
directory of the repositories, AuthzSVNAccessFile to the location of
the .authz file describing access permission, and AuthUserFile to
the password file.
{
services.httpd.extraModules = [
# note that order is *super* important here
{ name = "dav_svn"; path = "${pkgs.apacheHttpdPackages.subversion}/modules/mod_dav_svn.so"; }
{ name = "authz_svn"; path = "${pkgs.apacheHttpdPackages.subversion}/modules/mod_authz_svn.so"; }
];
services.httpd.virtualHosts = {
"svn" = {
hostName = HOSTNAME;
documentRoot = DOCUMENTROOT;
locations."/svn".extraConfig = ''
DAV svn
SVNParentPath REPO_PARENT
AuthzSVNAccessFile ACCESS_FILE
AuthName "SVN Repositories"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile PASSWORD_FILE
Require valid-user
'';
};
};
}
The key "svn" is just a symbolic name identifying the virtual host.
The "/svn" in locations."/svn".extraConfig is the path underneath
which the repositories will be served.
This page explains how to set up the Subversion configuration itself. This boils down to the following:
Underneath REPO_PARENT repositories can be set up as follows:
$ svn create REPO_NAME
Repository files need to be accessible by wwwrun:
$ chown -R wwwrun:wwwrun REPO_PARENT
The password file PASSWORD_FILE can be created as follows:
$ htpasswd -cs PASSWORD_FILE USER_NAME
Additional users can be set up similarly, omitting the c flag:
$ htpasswd -s PASSWORD_FILE USER_NAME
The file describing access permissions ACCESS_FILE will look something
like the following:
[/]
* = r
[REPO_NAME:/]
USER_NAME = rw
The Subversion repositories will be accessible as
http://HOSTNAME/svn/REPO_NAME.
