Hi, We are a small lab and we would like to use galaxy to do our analysis. However we have a very large amount of data that is stored on several machines and that we cannot afford to duplicate. Our galaxy server is set up on a different machine. We are looking for a way to use our remote data inside galaxy without copying it locally. Any ideas/hints? Thanks, Caroline

Hi Caroline, If your remote data is accessible via the filesystem (i.e. via NFS), you can "link" it into Galaxy through Data Libraries. Please see the documentation on this feature here: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/DataLibraries/UploadingFile... The "Copy data into Galaxy?" checkbox is now a select list (yes/no) and there are some other minor interface changes, but the rest of the information is still correct. --nate
Thanks,

besides using libraries, you can create a tool to add files from nfs path which merely symlinks the file. while libraries are nice, i haven't figured out how to automatically import libraries, so i created a tool for users to import sequence data using their "run id" (i.e. in our lims).
