Galaxy packages for Bio-Linux - an update + Apache proxying
Hi All, As previously mentioned, I'm back working on packaging the Galaxy server as DEB packages for Bio-Linux (ie. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) and ultimately pushing towards something that could be Debian compliant. There's a way to go in that regard, but I do now have an updated package for Bio-Linux in final testing and it also has a new trick: doing "apt-get install galaxy-server-apache-proxy" will set up just that with no further configuration needed. The galaxy server appears at http://localhost/galaxy and users log in with their regular system username and password. Uploads are enabled via regular SFTP so no special FTP server configuration is needed. It's a little hacky in parts but I'm generally pleased with the result. If anyone want to take a look I'd welcome comments. It's not in the main BL repo yet but can be found here: https://launchpad.net/~nebc/+archive/galaxy/+sourcepub/3711751/+listing-arch...

This is quite awesome! Thanks for all the hard work Tim. In response to the eggs comment in the changelog - there are upsides and downsides to the way Galaxy handles dependency fetching but I think there should at least be an off switch. I thought that would be easy, but it sounds like not:
From Twitter this morning:
@jmchilton "@natefoo its great it "just works" for development and testing and desktop efforts. It just needs an off switch :)." @natefoo "@jmchilton Agreed, although versions would still be a problem then." Nonetheless, I have created a Trello card for this. https://trello.com/c/lthRjVZq -John On Fri, Dec 13, 2013 at 6:03 AM, Tim Booth <tbooth@ceh.ac.uk> wrote:

Hi Tim, This sounds great. I'll be happy to help testing and hopefully find some time to help packaging once it gets into Debian Med(are you submitting all your packages there?). One question, for apache/nginx configuration why not use something ala phpMyAdmin which ask you if you want to preconfigure the package with a webserver in particular. The name of the DEB packaging technology to ask these kind of questions is evading me now. I think using something like that could open many possibilities in the future, like database backend to use, home URL, admin user/password, etc...

Hi John and Carlos, Thanks for your replies regarding my DEB packaging work. Some quick answers to questions you raised.
In response to the eggs comment in the changelog - there are upsides and downsides to the way Galaxy handles dependency fetching but I think there should at least be an off switch. I thought that would be easy, but it sounds like not: ... I have created a Trello card for this. https://trello.com/c/lthRjVZq
Of course the ultimate goal for Debian compliance is that Galaxy uses 100% system Python libs and DPKG looks after all the interdependencies. I'm not sure how realistic that is, but I'm working on it. I'll need good regression tests for sure. On Mon, 2013-12-16 at 16:27 +0000, Carlos Borroto wrote:

Yes, it will all go in the Debian-Med SVN but for it to actually work on Debian I'll need a non-Upstart init script and probably some other changes. Maybe you can help me with that? I'll ping you in the New Year.
One question, for apache/nginx configuration why not use something ala phpMyAdmin which ask you if you want to preconfigure the package with a webserver in particular. The name of the DEB packaging technology to ask these kind of questions is evading me now.

I think you mean Debconf, which I'll probably use for a couple of things like the initial list of admin users but which I try to limit. If I put the packages out on the live DVD/USB or the Cloud image then I have to configure them with default settings in any case, and then it's easier for the user to just edit the config files than to remember a command like: % sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p medium galaxy-server-apache-proxy As a case in point, the apache2 package itself no longer uses debconf at all. I'm not currently planning to add Nginx to this packaging, as the priority was to enable uploads via SFTP, and this required use of system accounts in Galaxy, which called for authentication via PAM, which needed the relevant Apache2 modules. Cheers, TIM
Thanks for your work on this, Carlos

Hi, This is mainly a message to Carlos and Eric who volunteered to get involved with my Debian packaging, but of course any other help will also be appreciated. If either of you can spare time now it is a good moment to do so. I've been working on my package stuff over the last couple of weeks and have uploaded the latest to Debian-Med ready to build: http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/packages/galaxy/trunk/debi... Note that you need the re-packed tarball as generated by get-orig-source.sh and if you have a problem generating that you can grab a copy of it here: https://launchpad.net/~nebc/+archive/galaxy/+files/galaxy_1.bl.py27.20140210... I've only built this for Ubuntu, and I know that to get it working on Debian you'll at least need to replace the upstart job with an /etc/init.d script. After that I think you should have something working (see my commit notes). My latest efforts have been to try and get tool-shed installs working. Galaxy expects to be able to write to its own shed_tools_*_conf.xml files as well as to shed_tools and the tool-data directory. It looks like there is work to have a separate shed_tool-data folder but this is not fully working so I'm seeing if I can patch it. Either way, it's vital for packaging that the files managed by DPKG and the files (over)written by the Galaxy server are separated out into /var and /usr respectively.

Hi Tim, I have recently been working on getting Galaxy Main's configs and server-modified files and directories out of the galaxy-dist directory, so our goals are aligning. Not everything can be moved without some trickery (e.g. symlinks) but most paths, including the paths to shed_*.xml are configurable in universe_wsgi.ini (which itself need not live in the galaxy-dist directory). --nate On Mon, Mar 24, 2014 at 1:38 PM, Tim Booth <tbooth@ceh.ac.uk> wrote:

Hi Nate, It's great to hear that my rearrangements for packaging Galaxy are somewhat in line with what you are doing. My package is a bit of a rats-nest of symlinks right now but I'll clean these up as things become more configurable. One thing I'm a bit stuck on is the tool_data_table_conf.xml and shed_tool_data_table_conf.xml files. If the former is installed and updated by my package and the latter is managed by the internal tool-shed logic then this leaves nowhere for the user to make manual edits (we can use the debian config-files system to share ownership but it's awkward). Also I've made a galaxy-tools-bl package that adds some standard tool definitions in a file called bl_tool_conf.xml. I can set things up so this is seen by Galaxy: [app:main] ... tool_config_file = tool_conf.xml,shed_tool_conf.xml,bl_tool_conf.xml So I can split out tool_conf.xml but currently I can't split out items in tool_data_table_conf.xml (unless I make a startup script that compiles it on the fly from XML fragments, in the style of build_universe_config.py). Now if it were me I'd try and eliminate this XML file altogether, and have Galaxy just collect up all the available .loc files on startup without the need for a central registry file. This would involve embedding the couple of bits of metadata from the tool_data_table_conf.xml XML file into the .loc files themselves, and maybe there is some reason I've not spotted why this would be a bad idea. Any thoughts on this? Is it something you have considered or would consider? Cheers, TIM On Fri, 2014-03-28 at 18:49 +0000, Nate Coraor wrote:

Hi Tim, I agree the single tool_data_table_conf.xml is a problem and it would be nice to implement functionality for multiple. I've added a Trello card for it here: https://trello.com/c/rm2p8PpZ As to the location file collections, I can foresee a few problems, e.g. conflicting definitions, bad formatting of the metadata in location file comments, and still needing to specify multiple paths where these location files can exist. --nate On Mon, Mar 31, 2014 at 8:00 AM, Tim Booth <tbooth@ceh.ac.uk> wrote:
