Follow-up 19 Sept SSA meeting

Hi all, Thank you (to Lucille I think) for the [ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KTz4qxZBG4Z3sF23dVKPWXYz1mCNo2YDygSUHqt… | detailed note-taking ] for the last meeting. I was able to catch up & had a few short comments/questions Conda : * Thanks for the information, I informed my team * I've not used conda in Galaxy, so my suggestions might be off, but * maybe make sure that a user cannot somehow override the conda-forge channel (through tool XML or other). * Maybe even consider IP/URL blocking any official conda links? NFS Object Store * I use NFS mounting on my Galaxy instance too (for an Object Source, and for Data Libraries) * Once the NFS folder/partition is mounted, it can be used as a regular folder? (transparent for Galaxy) * So I'm wondering why the need for the plugin in Galaxy? * Does your use-case mandate an Object Store and not a File Source? * I see a [ https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/9524be3b7ac0a0656aedd7596fb87a… | sshfs File Source ] already exists and that [ https://blog.ja-ke.tech/2019/08/27/nas-performance-sshfs-nfs-smb.html | sshfs is becoming competitive with NFS ] Interactive Tools * Very cool, thanks! * We have some Jupyter Notebook users locally (not (yet) in Galaxy), this could be useful to them. Scratch Object Stores, & per-user Object Stores : * If I'm not mistaken, these are both features mentioned in the recent GCC? * Do you know when the videos/slides will be available for this GCC?

Time per week necessary for admin
by VLAD VISAN 28 May '24

28 May '24

Dear Small-Scale Admins, Thank you for the advice during last week's meeting. In the event we choose Galaxy (which we are leaning towards), I would be responsible for setting up the Galaxy instance as well as the initial maintenance. While a sysadmin would do the long-term maintenance. As such, we were wondering, in your experience, for those who wish to answer: 1. How many hours per week are necessary for purely admin-related maintenance on a local Galaxy instance (used by let's say 50 users) ? * Not the time for developing custom tools, as users would be expected to do that (they already do this outside of Galaxy) * Not the time for end-user assistance, as we plan to create in-house tutorials * Just the time necessary for e.g. restarting Galaxy, creating a back-up of it's database, repairing in case of a crash, ... * Ideally this time would be low or even zero outside of upgrades. But that is probably being idealistic. 2. How stable is Galaxy? I imagine crashes are rare. 3. Are there any time-consuming admin. tasks that I am not aware of/did not mention above? 4. Galaxy version upgrades 1. How often is it recommended to upgrade the Galaxy version? 2. What are the consequences of not upgrading for a while, apart from Python min/max version incompatibility? 3. How much time does an upgrade usually take? 4. I am also worried that if I fork Galaxy to modify the engine (which I plan to do slightly) there will be merge conflicts in the future. This would make upgrades even harder, but I don't see a way around it. Apart from maybe proposing the features to be merged into the main Galaxy repo, although they may be too specific.
