*We just released an update to Galaxy CloudMan
<https: wiki.galaxyproject.org="" cloudman="">.
*CloudMan<https: wiki.galaxyproject.org="" cloudman=""> offers
an easy way to get a personal and completely functional instance of
Galaxy
in the cloud in just a few minutes, without any manual configuration.
*This update brings a large number of updates and new features, the
most
prominent ones being:*
-
On AWS, updated galaxy (snap-69893175) and galaxyIndices (snap-
4b20f451)
file system snapshots, which include the Nov 4, 2013 Galaxy release
as well
as a significant number of Galaxy tools updates and additions. Tool
installations from the Tool Shed work as expected.
-
Updated the AWS AMI: *Galaxy CloudMan
<https: wiki.galaxyproject.org="" cloudman=""> 2.3* (ami-a7dbf6ce)
-
Made multi-process Galaxy the default option for running Galaxy
with
CloudMan <https: wiki.galaxyproject.org="" cloudman="">.
- Automatically toggle master as job execution host or not when
workers
are present.
-
Added support for attaching external Gluster based filesystems +
the
ability to init clusters off gluster/nfs volumes when so configured
in
snaps.yaml.
-
Added support for creating a volume based on an archive_url
allowing a
file system to be downloaded at cluster launch; also made it
possible to
use transient disk for this.
-
Added tagging support for OpenStack <http: openstack.org=""/>
instances
(requires OpenStack Havana release).
-
Galaxy Reports app now starts by default on Galaxy type clusters;
it is
accessible on<instance ip="">/reports/ URL.
*Minor updates*
- Added AWS new High I/O instance types.
-
Created proFTPd service for managing the application; fixes
occasional
issues with FTP connectivity
-
Updated admin_users (in Admin) form data-prefill and explanatory
text to
indicate correctly that this form now sets all admin users, instead
of
appending to the existing list.
- Included cluster name into the page title.
- Explicitly indicate that upon cluster deletion shared clusters
get
removed too.
-
Added TMPDIR env var to point to a dir on (Galaxy's) data file
system.
-
Generalize support for finding libc on newer Ubuntu platforms.
Allows
CloudMan <https: wiki.galaxyproject.org="" cloudman=""> to run on Ubuntu
13.04 and tries to be future compatible with new minor releases of
libc (thanks
Brad Chapman).
- Numerous fixes, see commit log for details.
For more details on the new features, see the the
CHANGELOG<https: bitbucket.org="" galaxy="" cloudman="" src="" tip="" changelog.md?a="" t="default">
