To secure your SVN server, you can use HTTPS with a free Let&#8217;s Encrypt SSL certificate. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of setting up Apache Subversion with HTTPS using Let&#8217;s Encrypt on CentOS 8. Whether you&#8217;re using a  or another server provider, this setup will help secure your version control system.<\/p>\n<h2>Prerequisites<\/h2>\n<p>Before you begin, ensure you have the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A CentOS 8 server, which could be hosted on a <a href=\"https:\/\/ie.netcloud24.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow\">UK Windows VPS<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ie.netcloud24.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow\">Windows VPSVirtual Private Servers<\/a>, or another <a href=\"https:\/\/ie.netcloud24.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow\">Windows VPS Hosting UK<\/a> solution.<\/li>\n<li>Root or sudo privileges on your server.<\/li>\n<li>A domain name pointed to your server\u2019s IP address.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 1: Update Your System<\/h2>\n<p>Before installing any software, ensure your system is up to date:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo dnf update -y<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 2: Install Apache and Subversion<\/h2>\n<p>Install Apache HTTP Server and Subversion on CentOS 8:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo dnf install httpd subversion mod_dav_svn -y<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>After installation, start and enable Apache to start on boot:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo systemctl start httpd\r\nsudo systemctl enable httpd<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 3: Configure Apache for Subversion<\/h2>\n<p>Next, create a new directory for your SVN repository:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo mkdir \/var\/www\/svn<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Create a new SVN repository:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo svnadmin create \/var\/www\/svn\/myrepo<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Set the appropriate permissions for the repository:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo chown -R apache:apache \/var\/www\/svn\/myrepo<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Edit the Apache configuration to enable SVN:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo nano \/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/subversion.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Add the following configuration:<\/p>\n<pre><code>&lt;Location \/svn&gt;\r\n    DAV svn\r\n    SVNParentPath \/var\/www\/svn\r\n    AuthType Basic\r\n    AuthName \"Subversion Repository\"\r\n    AuthUserFile \/etc\/svn-auth-users\r\n    Require valid-user\r\n&lt;\/Location&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Create an authentication file and add a user:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo htpasswd -cm \/etc\/svn-auth-users svnuser<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>You will be prompted to enter a password for the user.<\/p>\n<p>Restart Apache to apply the changes:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo systemctl restart httpd<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 4: Install Certbot and Obtain an SSL Certificate<\/h2>\n<p>To secure your SVN repository with HTTPS, you can use Let&#8217;s Encrypt. First, install Certbot:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo dnf install certbot python3-certbot-apache -y<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Obtain an SSL certificate for your domain:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo certbot --apache -d your-domain.com -d www.your-domain.com<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Certbot will automatically configure Apache to use SSL. After the process is complete, Certbot will automatically set up a cron job to renew the SSL certificate.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 5: Test Apache Subversion with HTTPS<\/h2>\n<p>Once everything is set up, open your web browser and navigate to <code>https:\/\/your-domain.com\/svn\/myrepo<\/code>. You will be prompted to enter the credentials you created for the SVN user. If everything is configured correctly, you should see the Subversion repository page over HTTPS.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>By following these steps, you have successfully set up Apache Subversion with HTTPS using Let&#8217;s Encrypt on CentOS 8.
