Here you'll learn to deploy Pulsar & CVMFS.
Pulsar is the Galaxy Project’s remote job running system. It was written by John Chilton (
@jmchilton) of the Galaxy Project. It is a python server application that can accept jobs from a Galaxy server, submit them to a local resource and then send the results back to the originating Galaxy server.
The CernVM-FS is a distributed filesystem perfectly designed for sharing readonly data across the globe. We use it in the
Galaxy Project for sharing things that a lot of Galaxy servers need. Namely:
- Reference Data
- Genome sequences for hundreds of useful species
- Indices for the genome sequences
- Various bioinformatic tool indices for the available genomes
- Tool containers
- Singularity containers of everything stored in Biocontainers (A bioinformatic tool container repository.) You get these for free every time you build a Bioconda recipe/package for a tool.
- And more!
