This repository serves as an example for RSEs to self host Galaxy. The repository contains a docker-compose.yml file that can be used to start a Galaxy instance with a few tools pre-installed.
Some guides are given below to help you get started!
If you are interested in some context for this repo some slides are available.
Tutorial: From bootstrap to workflows! Getting started with Galaxy
How to: Add tools to your Galaxy
How to: Add public workflows your Galaxy
The best introductions to Galaxy are given by the Galaxy project itself. You may choose to start your Galaxy journey by reading the following: Introduction to Galaxy Analyses
If you are an RSE looking to develop tooling for Galaxy then generic documentation can be found at: Developing Galaxy Tools
You could also explore the Galaxy training material for coaching Galaxy administrators, however, this is not necessary to get started and the techniques may not necessarily apply to a self-hosted instance (the Galaxy Training Network assume deployment through Ansible, we use Docker Compose). https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/admin/
The .env file is self documented via the env.template file.
