docker-svn-client

Subversion Docker image with an old svn 1.7 client, which is officially not available for Ubuntu 15.04.

How to use it

• Run svn client

  sudo docker run -it --rm -v "$PWD":"$PWD" -w "$PWD" kaihofstetter/svn svn
  

• Add bash alias to .bashrc or .bash_aliases

  alias svn='sudo docker run -it --rm -v "$PWD":"$PWD" -w "$PWD" kaihofstetter/svn svn'
  

alias sudo='sudo '

This allows you to run svn in the docker container, with a simple 'svn ...'.

The sudo alias is needed to route 'sudo svn...' to the docker container.

* Checkout files as host user

Since to the docker client runs as root, checked out files are owned by root. 

There is a simple workaround: If you are logged in as the first added user/group after root on the host system, you can use the option '-u 1000:1000' to checkout files as the currently logged in user/group.

alias svn='sudo docker run -it --rm -u 1000:1000 -v "$PWD":"$PWD" -w "$PWD" kaihofstetter/svn svn' ...
