Add private conda channel

Hi everybody,

I’m asking if it is possible to add private conda channel to use in Galaxy. I use conda on the same server and can add a private channel with conda config --add channels file//<path_to_my_channel>.
Resulting in this :
$ conda info

Is it possible to do the same under galaxy ?
Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Because when I run the job in galaxy interface, I get the following error :
PackageNotFoundError: Packages missing in current channels:

  - pdb2fasta

We have searched for the packages in the following channels:

Galaxy search in https://conda.anaconda.org/conCAPSID/noarch instead of file//<path_to_my_channel>

You can add custom conda channels for Galaxy to use using the conda_ensure_channels setting

Nice thanks it’s working !!

In fact, I thought it was enough to add the path to the private channel in the conda configuration using conda config --add channels "file: // <path_to_channel>" and that it was necessary to add the name of the channel in conda_ensure_channels. But that does not work.

Just add file://<path_to_channel> in conda_ensure_channels and it works!
