AW: AW: SVN on docker/kubernetes/openshift - shared storage?

Hi Brane,

thanks for your response.

To understand you right, if we are using many svn-instances and one shared storage AND we are using a loadbalancer, we have to ensure that write operations will only be done on ONE svn-instance.

That means we have to choose between http method. I found one sample for HAProxy
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34916975/haproxy-rewrite-http-requests-based-on-http-method

these method are for read only:
GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT

All others are for write operations

regards

Jonathan

The first step is to find out what exactly is causing the load; whether it's commits or updates or something else.

Subversion itself supports master/slave replication, where all commits go to a single server but read operations can be served by many. Maybe that's sufficient for your case, but it's hard to say without any performance data. Sometimes just tuning the server configuration may be enough.

Sure, you can split repositories amongst different servers. Or you can use a commercial solution that provides master/master replication.
