Welcome @Dylan
The default webserver in current Galaxy releases is Gunicorn. A proxy isn’t required but please be sure to review the linked guides so that you understand some of the underlying reasons why we think a proxy is a good idea!
The instructions for a standard Local Galaxy deployment are in our Admin documentation here → Scaling and Load Balancing — Galaxy Project 25.0.2.dev0 documentation
Without a proxy server:
It is strongly recommended to use a proxy server.
Gunicorn can be configured to serve HTTPS directly:
# listening options
gunicorn:
# listening options
bind: '0.0.0.0:443'
keyfile: server.key
certfile: server.crt
See Gunicorn’s SSL documentation for more details.
To bind to ports < 1024 (e.g. if you want to bind to the standard HTTP/HTTPS ports 80/443), you must bind as the root user and drop privileges to the Galaxy user. However you are strongly encouraged to setup a proxy server as described in the production configuration documentation.
And, if you are running the Docker Galaxy deployment instead, please find the instructions at → GitHub - bgruening/docker-galaxy: 🐋📊📚 Docker Images tracking the stable Galaxy releases..
