Cluster/Partitioning of SVN Root

Partitioning of SVN Repository location 


 There could be need in an organization to have subversion repositories for multiple business group or verticals, But at the same time they should be very well partitioned and should not look at each others repos. This means you need separate repo area for each business unit.

This can be done in 2 ways, either you can install separate SVN for each Business unit and handle the authentication according to their need OR you can use cluster management and
partition the different repo area for each verticals.

Here is the example to achieve above goal via partitioning.

  • First you will have to identify the data area for repo for each Business unit (BU). lets assume its /opt/svnroot/<BU>
  • modify your apache httpd config file like below

LoadModule dav_svn_module     modules/mod_dav_svn.so

#xyz Repository configuration
<Location /xyz>
   DAV svn
   SVNParentPath /opt/svnroot/xyz
</Location>
#abc Repository configuration
<Location /abc>
   DAV svn
   SVNParentPath /opt/svnroot/abc
</Location>

 xyz and abc are the different location of your svnroot to make partition between repositories. I haven't added any authentication configuration here, But you can add above entry in one apache conf and use different auth mechenism accourding to the BU needs.
Ldap auth configuration was mentioned in my previous svn installation blog

Colour formatting - Jenkins Console

Image
Jenkins is the main CI tool used in Software industry. This is the backbone tool for all CI and CD implementation, Build - release and deployment methods. With the help of 100s of plugin available around the jenkins, We can achieve so much of automation around build process including build/deployment pipeline, notification, analysis, pre and post build action etc. Jenkins has tremendous power to perform great amount of work around the core build process. Many time we write script in pre and post build action to perform many tasks which is becoming very command and necessary for automation. But the main limitation in running shell script is that it's very difficult to make it more human readable for errors and make it fancy.

Manage Docker images on local disk

Docker is very powerful containerization technique, and it is becoming famous in short time. People are adapting and containerizing their applications for deployment. Soon container become very heavy and consume too much of disk space, If you do not delete old images and layers you may soon run out of disk space. Here i am trying to cover the ways to regain the disk space consumed by docker images. Moving docker filesystem to bigger mount point. Usually docker keeps all temporary files related to image building and layers at /var/lib/docker This path is local to the system usually at root partition "/" . You can mount a bigger disk space and move the content of /var/lib/docker to the new mount location and make sym link.  This way even docker images occupy space, will not affect  your system as it will be using some other mount location. Remove Old docker images Here are few ways to remove old and unused docker images Removing stopped contai...
