GalaxyKickStart is an Ansible playbook designed to help you get one or more production-ready Galaxy servers based on Ubuntu within minutes, and to maintain these servers. Optionally, instances can be pre-loaded with tools and workflows.

Detailed usage instructions are available in the Documentation.

The playbook has been tested on

• Cloud Machines
• Vagrant Boxes
• Physical Servers
• Docker

GalaxyKickStart has been developed at the ARTbio platform and contains roles developed by the Galaxy team.

• ensure_postrgesql_up

If you are using Ubuntu on your Ansible machine, make sure that you deactivate SendEnv LANG LC_* in /etc/ssh_config. This will allow locale settings to be propagated by ssh.
