Importing Histories from Local Galaxy Instances

Question: Importing Histories from Local Galaxy Instances

23 months ago by

Hi all,

Is there a way to import user histories from one local instance of galaxy to another? For instance, if Galaxy1 and Galaxy2 are running locally on two different machines, would a user be able to download their history from Galaxy1 and then upload it to Galaxy2?

There seems to be a import histories function, however this is done via url and Galaxy2 cannot access the files on Galaxy1.

Is there any other way to go about this process?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Download the history archive from Galaxy1 once it is generated and complete. The first access will present a URL, subsequent access will present with the download .tar function.

Place this on a publically accessible location where it can be accessed by URL. Dropbox is one example, but any site is ok, including other local servers with public access set up through Apache, etc. Then upload to your Galaxy2 by that URL.

Best, Jen, Galaxy team

Hi Jen,

This is really helpful. Having tried to import the tar file, the imported history does not show up. This showed up in the stdout of the error report: Error unpacking tar/gz archive: not a gzip file ', mode 'w' at 0x2aeb0b81a1c8>

The file was able to be unzipped on the terminal via tar -xzvf Galaxy-History-Unnamed-history.tar.gz

Any insights on this issue?

Thanks!

History import has some other known issue that may be related. More feedback after some testing. Jen
