tiff files in galaxy
by Robert Baertsch 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

Do you know a fast way to open large tiff files in galaxy ? The sniffer recognizes the type, but clicking on the eyeball on a large 82mb file just hangs. Downloading the file and opening in preview does work but it is clunky. Perhaps storing a low res version that would be display when clicking the eyeball would speed access.

hierarchical ObjectStore - noatime
by Bjoern Gruening 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

Hi, we want to put some more hard drives into your Galaxy Server. And we plan to use the hierarchical ObjectStore for that purpose. The new discs will be type="distributed" id="primary" and the old disc will become type="disk" id="secondary". If I understood correctly the old disc is them in some read-only state and will not touched until the primary discs are full or not working ... Is it save to mount the old discs or all discs with noatime, to get a small performance gain? Is Galaxy using noatime? Thanks, Bjoern

survey
by Philippe Moncuquet 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

Hi, I hope this is relevant to the dev list but if it is not please let me know. I was trying to estimate active users out of our registered users. I ended counting users that had a job during the last month. How would you guys do ? During this process I also wanted to see how we were doing in comparison to other instance. I set up a simple survey and would greatly appreciate if instance admin would take 2 min to complete it. I will publish results here (or maybe to some more relevant place, let me know) at the end of the month. https://fr.surveymonkey.com/s/CD6NN88 Regards, Philip

Subclassing downloadable archive file for composite datatypes
by Peter Cock 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

Hello all, I would like to modify the default ZIP bundle behaviour for composite datatypes, which currently insists on creating an HTML "main" file. To do this I think the current monolithic _archive_composite_dataset function needs to be refactored in file lib/galaxy/datatypes/data.py I would like to move the section which currently names and populates the HTML index file into a sub-method, i.e. this chunk: path = data.file_name fname = os.path.split(path)[-1] efp = data.extra_files_path htmlname = os.path.splitext(outfname)[0] if not htmlname.endswith(ext): htmlname = '%s_%s' % (htmlname,ext) archname = '%s.html' % htmlname # fake the real nature of the html file try: archive.add(data.file_name,archname) except IOError: error = True log.exception( "Unable to add composite parent %s to temporary library download archive" % data.file_name) msg = "Unable to create archive for download, please report this error" Then by overriding this new method a subclass (custom composite datatype) could for example set the filename used inside the archive to be "index.html" or "index.htm" or anything else like "README.txt" (doesn't have to be HTML); alter the contents of the index file; or even not include an index file in the archive. Would a pull request to do this be considered? Thanks, Peter

job_conf.xml output_size limit
by Sarah Diehl 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

Hi everyone, in my job_conf.xml I defined the following limit <limit type="output_size">536870912000</limit> Galaxy seems to correctly identify the number as 500 GB, since I got the error: "Job output file grew too large (greater than 500.0 GB), please try different inputs or parameters" The problem is that the output file of the job is just a few GB (verified by rerunning the command manually). So Galaxy is wrongly stopping the job after just a few seconds, although the actual output size was fine. I disabled the limit for now, but I really want it in place. I just put it because I had a user generating output files of over 4 TB that filled up our storage (quotas only catch them when they are finished, but the user had two concurrent jobs running, both creating such huge files). Any help is appreciated! Thanks! Sarah

Error running Clustalw and HyPhy on Cloudman
by Karen Miga 01 Dec '13

01 Dec '13

Hello - I am running to errors when trying to run Clustalw and HyPhy on our cloudman instance. (1) Clustalw: The program completes without error and produces an empty file and a log file that states "/bin/sh: 1: clustalw2: not found" Searching around a bit I am not seeing clustalw2 previously installed. I am happy to do it if need be, however, I wanted to check in and see if I am overlooking the directory or an easy fix. If I do need to install clustalw, I would prefer to use clustalw-omega, but was not sure if I needed to script a brand new wrapper or if I could use the previous one that came with galaxy image. (2) HyPhy: The cloud the link was initially broken. I changed it to the correct path: sudo ln -sfn /mnt/galaxy/tools/hyphy/default /mnt/galaxy/galaxy-app/tool-data/HYPHY I am using a fasta alignment file of 6 protein sequences (566 AA each) as a test case (*also fails with nucleotide alignments). It runs briefly and then issues an error statement "Single Alignment Analyses Segmentation fault (core dumped)". Thank you in advance, Karen

Re: [galaxy-dev] Active Directory
by Stewart, Andrew 01 Dec '13

01 Dec '13

Hi Alex, I've been trying to do something similar. There are no doubt others on this list who can offer more official answers than mine, but I'm happy to share my experience so far: 1) First of all, do make sure to read through http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Performance/ProductionServer. It's the best starting point for customizing your local production deployment. 2) For AD authentication, it is indeed possible to kick that off to the Apache proxy to handle. I ended up opting out of using it because of some anomalies and my lack of AD knowledge, and frankly I think there are some UX disadvantages to using apache's generic authentication prompt. Personally I'd like to see AD or other authentication handling be served directly by the Galaxy backend (same login prompt and everything), but that's just my personal taste. Applicable documentation: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Apache%20Proxy 3) I think there are a couple ways to go about this, but none of them are direct. Actually mounting the shares will probably be the most difficult part, especially if you need to take permissions into account. On the AD side, you'll want to first verify that the shared drive is mountable by the OS of your Galaxy server. Depending on how the share is configured (AD file permissions vs linux file permissions), you might have some trouble matching permissions on, say, a linux server. Assuming you can mount to your Galaxy server, I personally think the easiest thing to do would be to mount not individual user shares but rather a single share with individual user directories. You could potentially take advantage of Galaxy's FTP Upload functionality (http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Upload%20via%20FTP) at this point, sans the ftp server. Let's say you mounted the AD governed single point share to /mnt/ad-drive. You could set 'ftp_upload_dir=/mnt/ad-drive' in Galaxy's universe_wsgi.ini file. The trick here would be to get Galaxy to map user directories under /mnt/ad-drive in a manner that Galaxy's FTP interface understands. To do it Galaxy's way, you would want user directories to appear as their full e-mail address as registered with Galaxy; so, for example "alexander.kurze(a)bioch.ox.ac.uk" would appear on the share as literally "/mnt/ad-drive/alexander.kurze(a)bioch.ox.ac.uk". The fact that users would be registering on galaxy with their AD credentials would help keep that system in sync. With the ftp_upload_dir option configured, user(a)bioch.ox.ac.uk would see an extra option in the Import Data interface to directly import data files from /mnt/ad-drive/user(a)bioch.ox.ac.uk. As far as exporting data from their Galaxy account to the shared drive, I've come across a couple tools in the Galaxy ToolShed that do exactly that. Alternatively, I don't know if your server is sitting in front of a cluster, but you could always go down the route of running jobs as the actual system user, assuming a system configuration where system users are AD users. See: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Performance/Cluster Hope some of that is helpful. -- Andrew Stewart Office of Research Information Services (ORIS), Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), Smithsonian Institution 202-505-3633 On 12/1/13 12:00 PM, "galaxy-dev-request(a)lists.bx.psu.edu" <galaxy-dev-request(a)lists.bx.psu.edu> wrote: >Message: 1 >Date: Thu, 28 Nov 2013 14:06:58 +0000 >From: Alexander Kurze <alexander.kurze(a)bioch.ox.ac.uk> >To: galaxy-dev <galaxy-dev(a)bx.psu.edu> >Subject: [galaxy-dev] Active Directory >Message-ID: > <CABaBi0cTcQvDfLwJ2WLJG0FDBkWD2LALnEs6yRqFVwFya5K=Rw(a)mail.gmail.com> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > >Hi there, > >I have a server set up of galaxy.
