This Ansible playbook is used to deploy and maintain the public Galaxy servers, namely Galaxy Main (usegalaxy.org) and Galaxy Test (test.galaxyproject.org). The generalized roles herein have been published to Ansible Galaxy and can be installed for your own use via the ansible-galaxy command, but a few site-specific roles are contained here as well.

This playbook is not designed to be used by Galaxy deployers/admins at other sites, but should be useful as a reference for anyone wishing to emulate a setup like usegalaxy.org.

Usage documentation can be found in the usegalaxy-playbook wiki. All standard playbook operations can be done using the targets in the Makefile.

You will need the vault password to run most plays. These can be found in the galaxyproject pass(1) password store. If you have configured a gpg-agent(1), you can avoid being prompted for your passphrase on every execution.

NOTE: out of date now, need to update

Building Pulsar's dependencies' dependencies as an unprivileged user on some HPC systems was a difficult manual process, so I made some notes, which may be helpful:

slurm-drmaa compiled and installed by hand on Stampede (slurm-devel is not installed (or worse, some login nodes have mismatched versions), so I had to work around this):

cd slurm
mkdir -p include/slurm
cd src/slurm-2.6.3
./configure --prefix=/usr
cp slurm/*.h ../../include/slurm
cd slurm-drmaa-1.0.7
./configure --prefix=/work/galaxy/test/slurm-drmaa --with-slurm-inc=/work/galaxy/test/slurm/include && make && make install

Python + virtualenv compiled and installed by hand on Stampede:

cd /work/galaxy/test/python/src/Python-2.7.6
./configure --prefix=/work/galaxy/test/python --enable-unicode=ucs4 && make && make install
cd ../virtualenv-1.11.5
/work/galaxy/test/python/bin/python setup.py install
