Question: Most Popular Linux Flavour For Galaxy

7.5 years ago by

Hello Galaxy Users We are anticipating setting up a local instance of Galaxy and wondering what is the most popular (or best) flavour of Linux people out there using. I wonder which OS on UseGalaxy.org has been used. Thanks for your help. Regards Matloob PhD Candidate

Hi Matloob, Others should contribute their experiences as well but for the Galaxy VM and cloud, we use Ubuntu 10.04. Also, to automate the machine setup, we have a scripts that perform all of the required setup steps; the scripts are usable by anyone for a range of machines and are available here: https://bitbucket.org/afgane/mi-deployment/ Good luck, Enis On Tue, Jun 7, 2011 at 8:00 AM, Matloob Khushi <matloob.khushi@sydney.edu.au <="" div="">

Hi Ron, Yes, it's the 64-bit Ubuntu and we've opted to go with the 10.04 version because it's LTS version, although I don't think there were any changes in the more recent versions that will break things in the scripts. Enis

Hi Matloob, The public Galaxy server runs Solaris 10. The tools run on two clusters, one running Debian Squeeze and the other running RHEL 5.6, both amd64. You might find that a specialized distribution like BioLinux or Scientific Linux may pre-package many of the tools you're interested in, which would make setup a bit easier. --nate

I have instances running on RHEL 5 and CentOS 5 and never had any OS-specific issues, works great. -Leandro

Hi, Our local instance runs on CentOS 5 and is happy with it :) We didn't have the choice though. Regards L-A Le 07/06/2011 14:00, Matloob Khushi a écrit :
