In this post, I will write about how I set up SVN server to Ubuntu 18.04 (LTS) x64 droplets

Then enter to ssh server by the address with command:

ssh root@{Server address}

Installing Apache and SVN module

Installing Apache 

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install apache2
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Installing SVN module 

sudo apt-get install subversion libapache2-mod-svn
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Enable required modules 

sudo a2enmod dav dav_svn authz_svn
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Restart Apache 

sudo service apache2 restart
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Create new repository

Create repositories storing directory 

sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/svn/
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Set repositories storing directory permissions 

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/lib/svn sudo chmod -R 775 /var/lib/svn
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Create users into file: /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd 

sudo touch /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd sudo htpasswd -m /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd {Your Username}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Set SVN module config 

sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Copy following config content to the file 

<Location /svn> DAV svn SVNParentPath /var/lib/svn AuthType Basic AuthName "Subversion Repository" AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd Require valid-user </Location>

Create new SVN repository into repositories storing directory (/var/lib/svn/)
