Installing and Configuring an SVN Server with Jenkins Integration on Docker

This guide walks through installing Subversion on a Docker host, configuring repository access and authentication, testing basic SVN operations, and integrating the SVN server with Jenkins to automate file distribution and builds, providing step‑by‑step commands and screenshots.

Installing and Configuring an SVN Server with Jenkins Integration on Docker

1. Installation

Install Subversion on the Docker host: yum -y install subversion Create the repository directory and initialize it:

mkdir -pv /data/svn
svnadmin create /data/svn

Navigate to the repository and list its contents to verify the structure:

cd /data/svn/
ll

2. Configuration

Edit the password file:

cd conf/
vim passwd

View the authorization file without comments: egrep -v '^#|^$' authz Typical authz content:

[aliases]
[groups]
[/]
hahashen = rw

Edit svnserve.conf to set access rules:

vim svnserve.conf
egrep -v '^#|^$' svnserve.conf

Key settings:

anon-access = read
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd
authz-db = authz

Start the SVN server and verify it is listening:

svnserve -d -r /data/svn/
netstat -nltp

3. Testing SVN Operations

Create a working directory and check out the repository:

mkdir /soft
svn checkout svn://192.168.20.16 /soft/

Add a test file and commit it:

echo "123" >1.txt
svn add *
svn commit -m hahashen

4. Jenkins + SVN Integration

Create a new Jenkins job that pulls files from the SVN server.

In the job configuration, select “Send files or execute commands over SSH”.

View the files that Jenkins will distribute to the target host.

After building the job, verify that the target machine (e.g., 192.168.20.42) received the files.

Additional screenshots show the build process and final verification steps.

Finally, confirm that the remote host has received the dispatched files:
