As a supplement to Oksana's original inquiry, we, at AAFC, couple Galaxy to SGE and possibly a different grid engine in the future for job scheduling. The old-fashioned way of doing that is to unify storage path and UID/GID between the application server and cluster.
I am starting to warm of the idea of making a small web interface that asks for a few configuration options: 1. type of grid engine 2. desired docker/galaxy flavour (RNA, exome, WGS, ...) 3. ... (e.g. intial admin user and password) and would pull Björn's relevant Dockerfile, patch it and generate a new one, tailored to the need of the user. I think it is impossible to have a set of dockerfiles for all the desired configurations (think analysis flavours times number of cluster types - for example). I will need to implement something like this very soon, and I would not mind to do it in a way that the community could reuse... So comments would be appreciated...
