Looking for a solution to hosting SVN server and MySQL server and database on Freenas.

[Apollo]

Hi folks,

I have a need for the following:
I need to setup a server to host SVN repositories, something similar to SVNServe but which could run either in iocage jail or VM Linux on Freenas.
I also need to create a MySQL type database and hosted by Freenas.

Do any of you out there could suggest some venue on how to implement such setup?

This is going to be implemented on a 1900x Threadripper running Freenas 11.2 at the time of this writing.

Thanks.

If the service is accessible

• only from the local network, create an iocage jail and mount the repository dataset inside
• from Internet, create a Linux VM with virtio disks and network. mount the repository dataset with NFS. Do not forget setup firewall + fail2ban

For Linux VM, I suggest Debian because it is easy to manage and has a small footprint. Nevertheless, Ubuntu Server or CentOS 7 will work also.

• For SVN
  • Apache + mod_dav_svn, then you delegate the authentication to Apache. In my case, I use example LDAP authentication.
  • You can also install websvn to browse the SVN repository with a nicer user interface
• For GIT
  • Instead of SVN, if you wish to use git, you can install GitLab. Maintening GitLab on FreeBSD is very painful, therefore a Linux VM is the viable option. Though you can try the FreeNAS GitLab plugin to see if you like GitLab..
• For MySQL
  • install MariaDB + Apache + phpMyAdmin. There are hundred of tutorials on the web.
