An answer may not be forthcoming because it is easier to say something is possible then to say it is impossible. I will risk embarrassment however and say there is not a configuration file in Galaxy to support this, there is not an alternative solution at this time that I am aware of. I really don't know how tough this would be to implement - I imagine object store to use gets picked at a different place from where permissions are accessed/assigned and roles can change over the lifetime of a dataset but I don't think there is infrastructure right now to support moving datasets from one object store to another.

If you wanted to hack on this I would start by looking at the object store code: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/src/6a633b37c4c47bba640d05fef72f....

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

Could someone comment on my question below ? I see that a similar question from Eric (with title "object_store_conf.xml route users to different storage" ) is also unanswered.

Thanks for your help,

Pieter.

Hi ,

We would the location of the datasets our Galaxy stores to be determined dynamically based on a set of rules. For example: for a specific role we would like a datasets to be stored in a folder /storage/no_backup and for another role this should be /storage/with_backup

Is there currently a configuration file in Galaxy to set this up? Or perhaps any alternative solutions?

Thanks and regards,
