Setting Up SVN on a Linux Server for Remote Code Editing and Automatic Deployment

Many developers need to modify code while traveling, and using a remote Linux server with SVN allows editing without carrying a laptop.

1. Install SVN on CentOS using the package manager:

<code>yum -y install subversion</code>

2. Create the repository directory and start the svnserve daemon:

<code>mkdir /www/svndata</code>
<code>svnserve -d -r /www/svndata</code>

3. Create an SVN project and configure it:

<code>svnadmin create /www/svndata/www.ouyangke.cn</code>

Edit svnserve.conf (located in the conf folder) and add:

<code>anon-access=none</code>
<code>auth-access=write</code>
<code>password-db=passwd</code>

Configure the passwd file with a user account:

<code>ouyangke=ou123</code>

4. Client connection can be done with a checkout command such as:

<code>svn checkout svn://localhost/www.ouyangke.cn /www/wwwroot/www.ouyangke.cn</code>

5. Automatic synchronization is achieved by creating a post‑commit hook script. Copy the template and edit post-commit :

<code>vi post-commit</code>
<code>REPOS="$1" REV="$2"</code>
<code>BASEPATH=/www/wwwroot/</code>
<code>WEBPATH="$BASEPATH/"</code>
<code>export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8</code>
<code>svn update $WEBPATH --username ouyangke --password ou123 --no-auth-cache</code>

Make the script executable and restart the daemon:

<code>chmod +x post-commit</code>
<code>killall svnserve</code>
<code>svnserve -d -r /www/svndata</code>

6. Using Baota panel to edit the project: checkout the repository to an edit directory, update, add new files, and commit changes, e.g.:

<code>svn checkout svn://localhost/www.ouyangke.cn /www/wwwroot/www.ouyangke.cn.edit</code>
<code>svn update</code>
<code>svn add filename</code>
<code>svn commit -m "message" filename</code>

If the commit fails, set the editor environment variable:

<code>export SVN_EDITOR=vim</code>

After configuration, the project can be accessed via a domain name, allowing code editing from an iPad or other devices at any time.
