Hi, I am posting my findings so that this may be useful for some body. I found a way to specify our own toolshed mentioned here<https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/InstallingRepositoriesToGalaxy#Installing_Galaxy_tool_shed_repository_tools_into_a_local_Galaxy_instance>. Toggle line numbers<https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/InstallingRepositoriesToGalaxy#> 1 <https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/InstallingRepositoriesToGalaxy#CA-04ee43fe2d1b2f55f5601ee1f9d4664b167450aa_1> <?xml version="1.0"?> 2 <https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/InstallingRepositoriesToGalaxy#CA-04ee43fe2d1b2f55f5601ee1f9d4664b167450aa_2> <tool_sheds> 3 <https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/InstallingRepositoriesToGalaxy#CA-04ee43fe2d1b2f55f5601ee1f9d4664b167450aa_3> <tool_shed name="Bx tool shed" url="http://someserver.bx.psu.edu:9009/"/> 4 <https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/InstallingRepositoriesToGalaxy#CA-04ee43fe2d1b2f55f5601ee1f9d4664b167450aa_4> <tool_shed name="Galaxy main tool shed" url="http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/"/> 5 <https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/InstallingRepositoriesToGalaxy#CA-04ee43fe2d1b2f55f5601ee1f9d4664b167450aa_5> <tool_shed name="Galaxy test tool shed" url="http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/"/> 6 <https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/InstallingRepositoriesToGalaxy#CA-04ee43fe2d1b2f55f5601ee1f9d4664b167450aa_6> </tool_sheds> We can run a toolshed and specify that multiple galaxy instances can access our own toolshed.

I setup galaxy in my local system successfully and I was able to install tools from ToolShed.

My requirement: Assume that multiple galaxy instances are running on different systems. Both the ToolShed will be able to access a private repository(with custom/installed tools) which setup in any one of the system. Basically I want to setup a central repository accessed by the multiple ToolShed.

Can you please provide me resources to achieve this.

Thanks, JanakiRam
