What have you tried? Have you watched any of the docker videos to see how just about every one of them translates what you find on docker hub into parameters on the plugin?

nicovon · Nov 12th 2019

First I ran the following command:

Code

docker pull garethflowers/svn-server

Then:

Code

docker run \
    --name serversvn \
    --detach \
    --volume /home/svn:/var/opt/svn \
    --publish 3690:3690 \
    garethflowers/svn-server

So for now I have been following the developer's instructions. I have not yet figured out if I'm doing well or not and above all what is the next step. I would like someone to clarify my doubts, for me it is the first time with docker and also with a versioning system.

And then? Did you create a repo with docker exec -it and the svnadmin command? Does /home/svn exist on your server? What isn't working?

no, I haven't created a repo yet. I don't know if /home/svn exists, I think so. Is it a problem if it doesn't exist?

It won't do anything without a repo.

Quote from nicovon

If you didn't create it, it doesn't exist. ls -al /home/ will tell you but most people use a path that you know exists. All of the docker videos show how to do this.

Quote from nicovon

If you need to keep your svn repo(s) after the docker container shuts down, it is very important.

looks like it already exists:

I tried to create a new repository but I didn't understand if it's enough to just start the container, or you have to start the image first.

Code

root@omv:~# docker exec -it serversvn svnadmin create vbrepo

You can't start an image. You can start a container using an image. You definitely have to have the container running to exec into it.

The omv web gui allows me to start the image, as shown here: https://imgur.com/s7hW514
How do I get the container running to exec into it?

That pic doesn't show the container running. That just creates the container. The status should be in the grid at the bottom of the plugin. Did you start the container in the bottom grid?

then this button: https://imgur.com/wDVA16Q
is it equivalent to executing these commands?:

Code

docker run \
    --name serversvn \
    --detach \
    --volume /home/svn:/var/opt/svn \
    --publish 3690:3690 \
    garethflowers/svn-server

@ryecoaaron yes, now I started the container.
the value "STATE" is "running" and the value "STATUS" is "Up 5 minutes (healthy)".
then I ran the command again:

Code

docker exec -it serversvn svnadmin create vbrepo

seems to have worked because it didn't return me anything.

but now what should I check and test?

nicovon · Nov 14th 2019

@ryecoaaron I'm not sure the container is set up properly: https://imgur.com/4piaAzK

should network mode be bridge?
can the ip host be 0.0.0.0?

I didn't understand the difference between host path and container path.
I didn't understand exactly what I'm going to save in /home/svn.

Sure.

Quote from nicovon

Yes. That just means it is listening on all addresses that the system has.

Quote from nicovon

I didn't understand the difference between host path and container path.

It is the mapping relationship between the path inside the container and outside the container. If the container reads or writes to the container path, it is actually reading/writing to the the specified host path. Perhaps you need to read more about containers.

Quote from nicovon

You won't save anything in /home/svn. That is where svn server files will live so that you don't lose anything when the container restarts.

What were you expecting to see? You are interacting directly with svnserve on that port.

Why again do you want an svn server?

I wanted to make all users of omv can use it to save their Visual Studio 2008 projects. But I have no idea how to use the svn server just created through Visual Studio.

by the way. I saw that the container had been arrested for three days. is the container stopped when omv is turned off?

ryecoaaron · Nov 18th 2019

Quote from nicovon

Isn't everything turned off when OMV is turned off? That said, there is a restart policy in the plugin to restart the container automatically when OMV is rebooted.

Yes you're right, I'm sorry. Maybe I had to ask: does the container, on restart, remain stopped by default?
It seems then that this policy does not work. How can I check?

ryecoaaron · Nov 18th 2019

Quote from nicovon

does the container, on restart, remain stopped by default?

Yes. The "Restart Policy" defaults to No which means the container will not start automatically on reboot. Most people change it to "unless stopped" if they want the container to start automatically on reboot.

Quote from nicovon

This is extremely well tested and I have not heard of it not working. From your screenshot in your first post, you left the Restart Policy set to No. So, I think the container is doing what it is supposed to.

@ryecoaaron How do I access the repository I created, from the svn client? I'm using TortoiseSVN.
