Our lab has a local instance of galaxy up and running fine, but we'd like to offer access to people outside of the lab or on other computers, ideally through a web browser and similar to the public servers. Is there any way to just link someone to your local instance - like how you can link someone to one of the public galaxy servers? If not, has anyone had experience with the best way to share a local instance? We'd like people to be able to use all the tools & workflows on our instance without having to download them / their dependencies themselves. If there's a way to limit access to people with particular Galaxy usernames - or any other way - that would be great as well. Comments from anyone who's already worked through how to share a local instance would be most appreciated.

I've already tried searching Biostars and the Galaxy Wiki, and looked at the "Share or Publish" screencast, but I couldn't find anything related to sharing your entire local instance (or if it's even an option). Sorry if I just missed a page that offers a tutorial on how to do something like this.

Thanks much,

Kay

This is not much of a 'Galaxy' question rather than running a generic webserver question. Generally you need to buy a domain and point it to your public webserver's IP (machine where Galaxy runs and listens to requests). You can read basics of running a webserver here: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/11/how-to-set-up-a-safe-and-secure-web-server/

Regarding the user administration: You can set up your Galaxy in a way it will force people to register before usage (config option) or you can let admin create the user accounts manually (if you don't want to share Galaxy with everybody).
