SVN Downloader

Web app that checks out any SVN repository and delivers it as a ZIP archive — no SVN client required on the user's machine.

Features

• Supports https://, http://, svn://, and svn+ssh:// URLs
• Streams the ZIP directly to the browser
• Strips .svn metadata from the archive
• 300-second checkout timeout guard
• Basic URL sanitisation (scheme allowlist + shell metacharacter rejection)

Requirements

• Docker & Docker Compose, or
• Python 3.12+ and the svn CLI installed locally

Running with Docker

docker compose up --build

Open http://localhost:8000.

Running locally

pip install -r requirements.txt
uvicorn app:app --reload

Requires svn on $PATH (e.g. apt install subversion / brew install subversion).

Usage

1. Paste an SVN repository URL into the input field.
2. Click Download ZIP.
3. The server checks out the repository and streams a ZIP file back to your browser.
