Integrating and using Galaxy as serverless analysis portal

[indresh_singh]

Hello Galaxy Team,
I’m part of salivaryproteome dot org project and we are looking for option to build or integrate a platform for analysis pipeline and workspace without installing and hosting the platform in AWS. Can we use Galaxy as a service for integrating and running analysis pipeline, and workspace? Currently salivaryproteome dot org is very small project and does not allow us to host our own Galaxy instance due to cost constraints.

If Galaxy will allow us to use it as a platform then what’s the best way to get started. Any startup guide or FAQ will be very useful.

Thanks
Indresh

Welcome, @indresh_singh

Would the public servers be useful for you?

The UseGalaxy public servers are free to use by anyone. That means you can create instructions for your user base about getting an account, and maybe extend that into a guide about how to do the analysis.

For the “how-to” parts, maybe model after the Galaxy Training Network (GTN) tutorials? You could even create a new tutorial and host that in the GTN! If you have specific data – including reference data – you could host that data or provide public data links, all in context.

Example GTN tutorial

• Hands-on: Galaxy Basics for everyone / Galaxy Basics for everyone / Introduction to Galaxy Analyses
• This one includes a file that is loaded by a URL, then hands-on manual steps, then a workflow extraction, plus an already created template workflow as another example.
• You could do something similar with data and tools appropriate for your researchers.

You can explain a bit more and ask more questions. I did remove the link to your site since multiple browsers state that the connection is not secure!! Is the https actually set up correctly?.
