So I tried it on my Ubuntu box: ~$ /usr/lib/viewvc/bin/standalone.py -r /var/lib/svn server ready at http://localhost:49152/viewvc Notice the "localhost" entry! This will be no good because the UBUNTU Server 16.04.3 does not have a GUI in which to run a web browser. So I tried this instead (engineering-lx is the DNS name of my Ubuntu test server): http://engineering-lx:49152/viewvc But it just resulted in a "Unable to connect" error in FireFox. I can reach the svn via Apache fine though: http://engineering-lx/svn/pc/ But no sign of viewvc for Subversion... Maybe the tiny server is not connected to the eth0 public address?
