Efthymois, You'll want to run Galaxy as a daemon process. Run % sh run.sh --help to get more information on running Galaxy as a daemon. Also, please direct questions about running/configuring a local Galaxy instance to galaxy-dev (cc'd) rather than galaxy-user, which is for tool and analysis questions. Best, J.

Dear Galaxy users,

I have installed a local Galaxy instance on a server and I use it to run certain genomic assembly workflows. Nevertheless with larger datasets completion may take up to one day. How can i make Galaxy to continue the operation even when i close the browser? Is that possible on a local instance or on the main server?
