I have my personal WGS 100x data in such a big CRAM file (183 GB) that I am not able to work on using public Galaxy servers. So I tried to launch my own GVL instance on AWS.

Unfortunately now everyone can register and use my GVL instance and I doubt I could allow this financial wise.

So I my Q is: how to prevent others from using my private GVL instance deployed on AWS?

Solved

insert into Galaxy-app/config/galaxy.ini the following lines:

allow_user_creation = False
require_login = True

Hi @ilya716

Someone would have to guess the server’s URL first but the extra layer of restricting access is a good change. Thanks for posting the solution back to the forum! :slight_smile:
