Access Restriction for User in SVN


Controlling User access in Subversion


User can be restricted in SVN for the repo/branch etc via pre-commit scripts But that restriction will be only for check in (commit).
What if you want to restrict user from reading or checkout your repo/directory/branch. If you have some sensitive information in your repo(Or any other reason) which can only be accessed by set of users, Here is your solution to restrict read access to repo.

In your apache conf file you need to add following configuration.

   AuthzSVNAccessFile  /etc/apache2/conf/authz.conf



Now create file /etc/apache/conf/authz.conf and you can add configuration like

#This will give everybody access to everything by default. This has to be at top.
[/]
* = rw

#Repository restriction.
[repo1:/]
#below line will block all users.
* =
#Below line will give read access to user1 for the repo1.
user1 = r
#This will give only read and write acess for repo1 to "user2"
user2 = rw


#Restriction for a directory/branch/path
[repo2:/location1]
* =
user1 = rw
user2 = r


You can twik the user access restriction script as per your need.

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...
