Get Galaxy

The Galaxy section allows user to deploy a full Galaxy production environment.

The service allows to setup and launch a virtual machine configured with the Operative System CentOS 7 and the auxiliary applications needed to support a Galaxy production environment such as PostgreSQL, Nginx, uWSGI and Proftpd and to deploy the Galaxy platform itself and the selected Galaxt tools.

Warning

Everything is configured on the fly and, depending on the number of the tools to be installed may take time.
