Browse container files instead of local file system (Galaxy in container)

[vavriann]

Hello,
I am running galaxy in a container (using image: GitHub - bgruening/docker-galaxy-stable: Docker Images tracking the stable Galaxy releases.). I was wondering if there is a way to browse files inside of the running container rather than on my local file system (i.e. my laptop) while doing the file upload.

Thank you for your time and help,
Anna

I am not sure what would be the best solution but I see you dont have an answer yet. My best guess now would be to check out data libraries. Here is some info:

Galaxy Data Libraries

Galaxy Training: Data Libraries

The Galaxy view through a browser window can only access the local files also exposed to that web browser.
