How to host/run Galaxyserver-NGS in AWS IP or in a webserver IP

Question

[sofie_carolina]

Hii All,

I wish all to be good and safe in this pandemic time,and wish things to be all-right soon :)

I would be thankful if anyone can help me to address my issues. I was asked to deploy GalaxyServer in AWS (CetnOS) and I have installed and Galaxy is running locally successful. But, galaxy is running in http://localhost:8080 and I want galaxy to get hosted on AWS or server IP. Assume, IP as 1.2.3.4, so it will run like, http://1.2.3.4:8080 and it should run on any system across internet with this IP.

I tried, looking into all config files changing files putting AWS IP, host = 1.2.3.4 (IP), but while running, ./run.sh galaxy is running same on localhost. It is not responding. Files where I have changed host IP are, galaxy.yml.sample, galaxy.ini.

O/p showing galaxy running in locahost:

First of all you should copy galaxy.yml.sample to galaxy.yml and use that one for all your configuration.

Second, assuming this will be a production environment because you install it on AWS it requires some extra steps. See here more info, it is to much to explain in a post: https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/latest/admin/production.html

Also the creators of galaxy created an easy way to deploy galaxy in AWS without much doing yourself: https://galaxyproject.org/use/aws/. They claim it is running in 10 minutes so that sounds good.

As far as I know the ip configuration should look like this: http: 0.0.0.0:8080

And like someone else already said, you need to open port 8080 first. This is mostly done with sort of "rules", maybe this page helps: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26338301/ec2-how-to-add-port-8080-in-security-group

Please ask this over in Galaxy help forum: https://help.galaxyproject.org/

Permission restrictions. Unable to ask. Anything alternative please ?

What does that mean? Galaxy help is an open forum.

Make sure you have enabled public access to the 8080 port in the AWS instance also modify CentOS firewall configuration accordingly.

[sofie_carolina]

So you know the steps and have you done this before ? Can I host galaxy on public IP of AWS Instance ? Like http://ip:8080 ?

[Arup Ghosh]

I've deployed Galaxy server on a local CentOS machine. Yes, you can access Galaxy server on a AWS public ip. If you are planning to run it in production mode use a HTTP proxy server like Nginx or Apache.

[sofie_carolina]

Can you please say how to do it ? Have you hosted galaxy globally on internet ? After installing apache what we need to do ? Is there anywhere manual or steps mentioned ? Please share

Configuration of web server is here. These directions are not the latest but this part has likely not changed.

I've hyperlinked the manual with HTTP server names.
