riboseq/ribogalaxy repository overview

⁠Introduction

This Docker image allows to easily setup a RiboGalaxy⁠ instance. It is based on Bjoern Gruening's docker images for Galaxy. This image was created on Ubuntu/14.04⁠

⁠Installation

Usage (mostly taken and adapted from https://github.com/bgruening/docker-recipes⁠)

First, install docker (c.f. https://www.docker.io/gettingstarted/#h_installation⁠)

After installing docker, all you need to do is:

docker run -d -p 8080:80 riboseq/ribogalaxy

I will shortly explain the meaning of all the parameters. For a more detailed description please consult the docker manual⁠ , it's really worth reading. Let's start: docker run will run the Image/Container for you. In case you do not have the Container stored locally, docker will download it for you. -p 8080:80 will make the port 80 (inside of the container) available on port 8080 on your host. Inside the container an Nginx Webserver is running on port 80 and that port can be bound to a local port on your host computer. With this port parameter you can access your RiboGalaxy instance via http://localhost:8080 immediately after executing the command above. riboseq/ribogalaxy is the Image/Container name, that directs docker to the correct path in the docker index. -d will start the docker container in daemon mode. For an interactive session, you can execute:

docker run -i -t -p 8080:80 riboseq/ribogalaxy

Docker images are "read-only", all your changes inside one session will be lost after restart. This mode is useful to present Galaxy to your colleagues or to run workshops with it. To install Tool Shed repositories or to save your data you need to export the calculated data to the host computer.

Fortunately, this is as easy as:

docker run -d -p 8080:80 -v /home/user/galaxy_storage/:/export/ riboseq/ribogalaxy

With the additional -v /home/user/galaxy_storage/:/export/ parameter, docker will mount the folder /home/user/galaxy_storage into the Container under /export/. The startup.sh script, that is usually starting Nginx, PostgreSQL and Galaxy, will recognise the export directory with one of the following outcomes:

•    In case of an empty ```/export/``` directory, it will move the [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) database, the Galaxy database directory, Shed Tools and Tool Dependencies and various config scripts to /export/ and symlink back to the original location.
  

  Copy
• In case of a non-empty /export/, for example if you continue a previous session within the same folder, nothing will be moved, but the symlinks will be created.

This enables you to have different export folders for different sessions - means real separation of your different projects.
