Default:: None
Type:: str

`managed_config_dir`¶

Description:: The directory that will be prepended to relative paths in options specifying config files controlled by Galaxy (such as shed_tool_config_file, etc.). Must be writable by the user running Galaxy. Defaults to <config_dir>/ if running Galaxy from source or <data_dir>/config otherwise.
Default:: None

`data_dir`¶

Description:: The directory that will be prepended to relative paths in options specifying Galaxy data/cache directories and files (such as the default SQLite database, file_path, etc.). Defaults to database/ if running Galaxy from source or <config_dir>/data otherwise.
Default:: None
Type:: str

`templates_dir`¶

Description:: The directory containing custom templates for Galaxy, such as HTML/text email templates. Defaults to ‘templates’. Default templates can be found in the Galaxy root under config/templates. These can be copied to <templates_dir> if you wish to customize them. The value of this option will be resolved with respect to <config_dir>.
Default:: templates
Type:: str

`cache_dir`¶

Description:: Top level cache directory. Any other cache directories (template_cache_path, etc.) should be subdirectories. The value of this option will be resolved with respect to <data_dir>.
Default:: cache
Type:: str

`database_connection`¶

Description:: By default, Galaxy uses a SQLite database at ‘<data_dir>/universe.sqlite’. You may use a SQLAlchemy connection string to specify an external database instead. Sample default ‘sqlite:///<data_dir>/universe.sqlite?isolation_level=IMMEDIATE’ You may specify additional options that will be passed to the SQLAlchemy database engine by using the prefix “database_engine_option_”. For some of these options, default values are provided (e.g. see database_engine_option_pool_size, etc.). The same applies to install_database_connection, for which you should use the “install_database_engine_option_” prefix. For more options, please check SQLAlchemy’s documentation at https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/core/engines.html?highlight=create_engine#sqlalchemy.create_engine
Default:: None
Type:: str

`database_engine_option_pool_size`¶

Description:: If the server logs errors about not having enough database pool connections, you will want to increase these values, or consider running more Galaxy processes.
Default:: 5
Type:: int

`database_engine_option_max_overflow`¶

Description:: If the server logs errors about not having enough database pool connections, you will want to increase these values, or consider running more Galaxy processes.
Default:: 10
Type:: int

Description:: Specify where cache monitoring is driven for caching object stores such as S3, Azure, and iRODS. This option has no affect on disk object stores. For production instances, the cache should be monitored by external tools such as tmpwatch and this value should be set to ‘external’. This will disable all cache monitoring in Galaxy. Alternatively, ‘celery’ can monitor caches using a periodic task or an ‘inprocess’ thread can be used - but this last option seriously limits Galaxy’s ability to scale. The default of ‘auto’ will use ‘celery’ if ‘enable_celery_tasks’ is set to true or ‘inprocess’ otherwise. This option serves as the default for all object stores and can be overridden on a per object store basis (but don’t - just setup tmpwatch for all relevant cache paths).
Default:: auto
Type:: str

`object_store_cache_monitor_interval`¶

Description:: For object store cache monitoring done by Galaxy, this is the interval between cache checking steps. This is used by both inprocess cache monitors (which we recommend you do not use) and by the celery task if it is configured (by setting enable_celery_tasks to true and not setting object_store_cache_monitor_driver to external).
Default:: 600
Type:: int

Description:: Default cache size for caching object stores if cache not configured for that object store entry.
Default:: -1
Type:: int

`object_store_store_by`¶

Description:: What Dataset attribute is used to reference files in an ObjectStore implementation, this can be ‘uuid’ or ‘id’. The default will depend on how the object store is configured, starting with 20.05 Galaxy will try to default to ‘uuid’ if it can be sure this is a new Galaxy instance - but the default will be ‘id’ in many cases. In particular, if the name of the directory set in <file_path> is objects, the default will be set to ‘uuid’, otherwise it will be ‘id’.
Default:: None
Type:: str

`smtp_server`¶

Description:: Galaxy sends mail for various things: subscribing users to the mailing list if they request it, password resets, reporting dataset errors, and sending activation emails. To do this, it needs to send mail through an SMTP server, which you may define here (host:port). Galaxy will automatically try STARTTLS but will continue upon failure.
Default:: None
Type:: str

`smtp_username`¶

Description:: If your SMTP server requires a username and password, you can provide them here (password in cleartext here, but if your server supports STARTTLS it will be sent over the network encrypted).
Default:: None
Type:: str

`smtp_password`¶

Description:: If your SMTP server requires a username and password, you can provide them here (password in cleartext here, but if your server supports STARTTLS it will be sent over the network encrypted).

Description:: Datasets in an error state include a link to report the error. Those reports will be sent to this address. Error reports are disabled if no address is set. Also this email is shown as a contact to user in case of Galaxy misconfiguration and other events user may encounter.
Default:: None
Type:: str

`email_from`¶

Description:: Email address to use in the ‘From’ field when sending emails for account activations, workflow step notifications, password resets, and tool error reports.

If their address’s base domain matches any domain on the list, they are refused registration. Address subdomains are ignored (both ‘name@spam.com’ and ‘name@foo.spam.com’ will match ‘spam.com’). Example value ‘email_blocklist.conf’ The value of this option will be resolved with respect to <config_dir>.
Default:: None
Type:: str

`email_domain_allowlist_file`¶

Description:: E-mail domains allowlist is used to specify allowed email address domains. If the list is non-empty and a user attempts registration using an email address belonging to a domain that is not on the list, registration will be denied. Unlike <email_domain_allowlist_file> which matches the address’s base domain, here email addresses are matched against the full domain (base + subdomain). This is a more restrictive option than <email_domain_blocklist_file>, and therefore, in case <email_domain_allowlist_file> is set and is not empty, <email_domain_blocklist_file> will be ignored. Example value ‘email_allowlist.conf’ The value of this option will be resolved with respect to <config_dir>.
Default:: None
Type:: str

`registration_warning_message`¶

Description:: Registration warning message is used to discourage people from registering multiple accounts. Applies mostly for the main Galaxy instance. If no message specified the warning box will not be shown.

Please be aware that there are security implications if this is allowed. More details (including required changes to the proxy server config) are available in the Apache proxy documentation on the Galaxy Community Hub. The list of servers in this sample config are for the UCSC Main, Test and Archaea browsers, but the default if left commented is to not allow any display sites to bypass security (you must uncomment the line below to allow them).

Type:: str

`enable_old_display_applications`¶

Description:: Set this to false to disable the old-style display applications that are hardcoded into datatype classes. This may be desirable due to using the new-style, XML-defined, display applications that have been defined for many of the datatypes that have the old-style. There is also a potential security concern with the old-style applications, where a malicious party could provide a link that appears to reference the Galaxy server, but contains a redirect to a third-party server, tricking a Galaxy user to access said site.
Default:: true
Type:: bool

`aws_estimate`¶

`statsd_port`¶

Description:: Log to statsd Statsd is an external statistics aggregator (https://github.com/etsy/statsd) Enabling the following options will cause galaxy to log request timing and other statistics to the configured statsd instance. The statsd_prefix is useful if you are running multiple Galaxy instances and want to segment statistics between them within the same aggregator.
Default:: 8125
Type:: int

`statsd_prefix`¶

Description:: Log to statsd Statsd is an external statistics aggregator (https://github.com/etsy/statsd) Enabling the following options will cause galaxy to log request timing and other statistics to the configured statsd instance. The statsd_prefix is useful if you are running multiple Galaxy instances and want to segment statistics between them within the same aggregator.
Default:: galaxy
Type:: str

Default:: None
Type:: str

`user_library_import_dir`¶

Description:: Add an option to the library upload form which allows authorized non-administrators to upload a directory of files.

Default:: None
Type:: str

`user_library_import_check_permissions`¶

Description:: In conjunction or alternatively, Galaxy can restrict user library imports to those files that the user can read (by checking basic unix permissions). For this to work, the username has to match the username on the filesystem.
Default:: false
Type:: bool

`allow_path_paste`¶

Description:: Allow admins to paste filesystem paths during upload. For libraries this adds an option to the admin library upload tool allowing admins to paste filesystem paths to files and directories in a box, and these paths will be added to a library. For history uploads, this allows pasting in paths as URIs. (i.e. prefixed with file://). Set to true to enable. Please note the security implication that this will give Galaxy Admins access to anything your Galaxy user has access to.
Default:: false
Type:: bool

`disable_library_comptypes`¶

Description:: Users may choose to download multiple files from a library in an archive. By default, Galaxy allows users to select from a few different archive formats if testing shows that Galaxy is able to create files using these formats.

Default:: 2.0
Type:: float

`tool_help_boost`¶

Description:: In tool search, a query match against a tool’s help text will receive this score multiplier.
Default:: 1.0
Type:: float

`tool_help_bm25f_k1`¶

Description:: The lower this parameter, the greater the diminishing reward for term frequency in the help text. A higher K1 increases the level of reward for additional occurences of a term. The default value will provide a slight increase in score for the first, second and third occurrence and little reward thereafter.

Description:: Set minimum character length of ngrams
Default:: 3
Type:: int

`tool_ngram_maxsize`¶

Description:: Set maximum character length of ngrams
Default:: 4
Type:: int

`tool_ngram_factor`¶

Description:: Ngram matched scores will be multiplied by this factor. Should always be below 1, because an ngram match is a partial match of a search term.
Default:: 0.2
Type:: float

`tool_test_data_directories`¶

Description:: Set tool test data directory. The test framework sets this value to ‘test-data,https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy-test-data.git’ which will cause Galaxy to clone down extra test data on the fly for certain tools distributed with Galaxy but this is likely not appropriate for production systems. Instead one can simply clone that repository directly and specify a path here instead of a Git HTTP repository.
Default:: test-data
Type:: str

`id_secret`¶

Description:: Galaxy encodes various internal values when these values will be output in some format (for example, in a URL or cookie). You should set a key to be used by the algorithm that encodes and decodes these values. It can be any string with a length between 5 and 56 bytes. One simple way to generate a value for this is with the shell command: python -c ‘from __future__ import print_function; import time; print(time.time())’ | md5sum | cut -f 1 -d ‘ ‘
Default:: USING THE DEFAULT IS NOT SECURE!
Type:: str

`use_remote_user`¶

Description:: User authentication can be delegated to an upstream proxy server (usually Apache). The upstream proxy should set a REMOTE_USER header in the request. Enabling remote user disables regular logins. For more information, see: https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/admin/special_topics/apache.html
Default:: false
Type:: bool

`remote_user_maildomain`¶

Description:: If use_remote_user is enabled and your external authentication method just returns bare usernames, set a default mail domain to be appended to usernames, to become your Galaxy usernames (email addresses).
Default:: None
Type:: str

`remote_user_header`¶

Description:: If use_remote_user is enabled, the header that the upstream proxy provides the remote username in defaults to HTTP_REMOTE_USER (the HTTP_ is prepended by WSGI). This option allows you to change the header. Note, you still need to prepend HTTP_ to the header in this option, but your proxy server should not include HTTP_ at the beginning of the header name.
Default:: HTTP_REMOTE_USER
Type:: str

`remote_user_secret`¶

Description:: If use_remote_user is enabled, anyone who can log in to the Galaxy host may impersonate any other user by simply sending the appropriate header. Thus a secret shared between the upstream proxy server, and Galaxy is required. If anyone other than the Galaxy user is using the server, then apache/nginx should pass a value in the header ‘GX_SECRET’ that is identical to the one below.
Default:: USING THE DEFAULT IS NOT SECURE!
Type:: str

`remote_user_logout_href`¶

Description:: If use_remote_user is enabled, you can set this to a URL that will log your users out.
Default:: None
Type:: str

Description:: If your proxy and/or authentication source does not normalize e-mail addresses or user names being passed to Galaxy - set this option to true to force these to lower case.
Default:: false
Type:: bool

`single_user`¶

Description:: If an e-mail address is specified here, it will hijack remote user mechanics (use_remote_user) and have the webapp inject a single fixed user. This has the effect of turning Galaxy into a single user application with no login or external proxy required. Such applications should not be exposed to the world.
Default:: None
Type:: str

`admin_users`¶

Description:: Administrative users - set this to a comma-separated list of valid Galaxy users (email addresses). These users will have access to the Admin section of the server, and will have access to create users, groups, roles, libraries, and more. For more information, see: https://galaxyproject.org/admin/
Default:: None
Type:: str

`allow_user_creation`¶

Description:: When using LDAP for authentication, allow administrators to pre-populate users using an additional form on ‘Create new user’
Default:: false
Type:: bool

`upload_from_form_button`¶

Description:: If ‘always-on’, add another button to tool form data inputs that allow uploading data from the tool form in fewer clicks (at the expense of making the form more complicated). This applies to workflows as well. Avoiding making this a boolean because we may add options such as ‘in-single-form-view’ or ‘in-simplified-workflow-views’. https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/9809/files#r461889109
Default:: always-off
Type:: str

`allow_user_dataset_purge`¶

Description:: Allow users to remove their datasets from disk immediately (otherwise, datasets will be removed after a time period specified by an administrator in the cleanup scripts run via cron)
Default:: true
Type:: bool

`new_user_dataset_access_role_default_private`¶

Description:: By default, users’ data will be public, but setting this to true will cause it to be private. Does not affect existing users and data, only ones created after this option is set. Users may still change their default back to public.
Default:: false
Type:: bool

`expose_user_name`¶

Description:: Expose user list. Setting this to true will expose the user list to authenticated users. This makes sharing datasets in smaller galaxy instances much easier as they can type a name/email and have the correct user show up. This makes less sense on large public Galaxy instances where that data shouldn’t be exposed. For semi-public Galaxies, it may make sense to expose just the username and not email, or vice versa. If enable_beta_gdpr is set to true, then this option will be overridden and set to false.
Default:: false
Type:: bool

`expose_user_email`¶

Description:: Expose user list. Setting this to true will expose the user list to authenticated users. This makes sharing datasets in smaller galaxy instances much easier as they can type a name/email and have the correct user show up. This makes less sense on large public Galaxy instances where that data shouldn’t be exposed. For semi-public Galaxies, it may make sense to expose just the username and not email, or vice versa. If enable_beta_gdpr is set to true, then this option will be overridden and set to false.
Default:: false
Type:: bool

`fetch_url_allowlist`¶

Description:: List of allowed local network addresses for “Upload from URL” dialog. By default, Galaxy will deny access to the local network address space, to prevent users making requests to services which the administrator did not intend to expose. Previously, you could request any network service that Galaxy might have had access to, even if the user could not normally access it. It should be a comma-separated list of IP addresses or IP address/mask, e.g. 10.10.10.10,10.0.1.0/24,fd00::/8
Default:: None
Type:: str

`enable_beta_workflow_modules`¶

Description:: Enable beta workflow modules that should not yet be considered part of Galaxy’s stable API. (The module state definitions may change and workflows built using these modules may not function in the future.)
Default:: false
Type:: bool

`edam_panel_views`¶

Description:: Comma-separated list of the EDAM panel views to load - choose from merged, operations, topics. Set to empty string to disable EDAM all together. Set default_panel_view to ‘ontology:edam_topics’ to override default tool panel to use an EDAM view.
Default:: operations,topics
Type:: str

`edam_toolbox_ontology_path`¶

Description:: Sets the path to EDAM ontology file - if the path doesn’t exist PyPI package data will be loaded. The value of this option will be resolved with respect to <data_dir>.
Default:: EDAM.tsv
Type:: str

`panel_views_dir`¶

Description:: Directory to check out for toolbox tool panel views. The path is relative to the Galaxy root dir. To use an absolute path begin the path with ‘/’. This is a comma-separated list.
Default:: config/plugins/activities
Type:: str

`panel_views`¶

Description:: Definitions of static toolbox panel views embedded directly in the config instead of reading YAML from directory with panel_views_dir.
Default:: None
Type:: seq

`default_panel_view`¶

Description:: Default tool panel view for the current Galaxy configuration. This should refer to an id of a panel view defined using the panel_views or panel_views_dir configuration options or an EDAM panel view. The default panel view is simply called default and refers to the tool panel state defined by the integrated tool panel.
Default:: default
Type:: str

`default_workflow_export_format`¶

Description:: Default format for the export of workflows. Possible values are ‘ga’ or ‘format2’.
Default:: ga
Type:: str

`parallelize_workflow_scheduling_within_histories`¶

Description:: If multiple job handlers are enabled, allow Galaxy to schedule workflow invocations in multiple handlers simultaneously. This is discouraged because it results in a less predictable order of workflow datasets within in histories.
Default:: false
Type:: bool

`maximum_workflow_invocation_duration`¶

Description:: This is the maximum amount of time a workflow invocation may stay in an active scheduling state in seconds. Set to -1 to disable this maximum and allow any workflow invocation to schedule indefinitely. The default corresponds to 1 month.
Default:: 2678400
Type:: int

`maximum_workflow_jobs_per_scheduling_iteration`¶

Description:: Specify a maximum number of jobs that any given workflow scheduling iteration can create. Set this to a positive integer to prevent large collection jobs in a workflow from preventing other jobs from executing. This may also mitigate memory issues associated with scheduling workflows at the expense of increased total DB traffic because model objects are expunged from the SQL alchemy session between workflow invocation scheduling iterations. Set to -1 to disable any such maximum.
Default:: 1000
Type:: int

`flush_per_n_datasets`¶

Description:: Maximum number of datasets to create before flushing created datasets to database. This affects tools that create many output datasets. Higher values will lead to fewer database flushes and faster execution, but require more memory. Set to -1 to disable creating datasets in batches.
Default:: 1000
Type:: int

`max_discovered_files`¶

Description:: Set this to a positive integer value to limit the number of datasets that can be discovered by a single job. This prevents accidentally creating large numbers of datasets when running tools that create a potentially unlimited number of output datasets, such as tools that split a file into a collection of datasets for each line in an input dataset.
Default:: 10000
Type:: int

Type:: str

`bootstrap_admin_api_key`¶

Description:: API key that allows performing some admin actions without actually having a real admin user in the database and config. Only set this if you need to bootstrap Galaxy, in particular to create a real admin user account via API. You should probably not set this on a production server.
Default:: None
Type:: str

`ga4gh_service_id`¶

Description:: Service ID for GA4GH services (exposed via the service-info endpoint for the Galaxy DRS API). If unset, one will be generated using the URL the target API requests are made against.

For instance for usegalaxy.org this value should be org.usegalaxy. Particular Galaxy implementations will treat this value as a prefix and append the service type to this ID. For instance for the DRS service “id” (available via the DRS API) for the above configuration value would be org.usegalaxy.drs.
Default:: None
Type:: str

`ga4gh_service_organization_name`¶

Description:: Service name for host organization (exposed via the service-info endpoint for the Galaxy DRS API). If unset, one will be generated using ga4gh_service_id. For more information on GA4GH service definitions - check out https://github.com/ga4gh-discovery/ga4gh-service-registry and https://editor.swagger.io/?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ga4gh-discovery/ga4gh-service-registry/develop/service-registry.yaml

Default:: false
Type:: bool

`simplified_workflow_run_ui`¶

Description:: If set to ‘off’ by default, always use the traditional workflow form that renders all steps in the GUI and serializes the tool state of all steps during invocation. Set to ‘prefer’ to default to a simplified workflow UI that only renders the inputs if possible (the workflow must have no disconnected runtime inputs and not replacement parameters within tool steps). In the future ‘force’ may be added an option for Galaskio-style servers that should only render simplified workflows.
Default:: prefer
Type:: str

Description:: When the simplified workflow run form is rendered, should the invocation outputs be sent to the ‘current’ history or a ‘new’ history. If the user should be presented and option between these - set this to ‘prefer_current’ or ‘prefer_new’ to display a runtime setting with the corresponding default. The default is to provide the user this option and default it to the current history (the traditional behavior of Galaxy for years) - this corresponds to the setting ‘prefer_current’.
Default:: prefer_current
Type:: str

`simplified_workflow_run_ui_job_cache`¶

Description:: When the simplified workflow run form is rendered, should the invocation use job caching. This isn’t a boolean so an option for ‘show-selection’ can be added later.
Default:: off
Type:: str

`ftp_upload_site`¶

Description:: Enable Galaxy’s “Upload via FTP” interface. You’ll need to install and configure an FTP server (we’ve used ProFTPd since it can use Galaxy’s database for authentication) and set the following two options. This will be provided to users in the help text as ‘log in to the FTP server at ‘. Thus, it should be the hostname of your FTP server.
Default:: None
Type:: str

`ftp_upload_dir`¶

Description:: This should point to a directory containing subdirectories matching users’ identifier (defaults to e-mail), where Galaxy will look for files.
Default:: None
Type:: str

`ftp_upload_dir_identifier`¶

Description:: User attribute to use as subdirectory in calculating default ftp_upload_dir pattern. By default this will be email so a user’s FTP upload directory will be ${ftp_upload_dir}/${user.email}. Can set this to other attributes such as id or username though.
Default:: email
Type:: str

`ftp_upload_dir_template`¶

Description:: Python string template used to determine an FTP upload directory for a particular user. Defaults to ‘${ftp_upload_dir}/${ftp_upload_dir_identifier}’.

Type:: str

`job_config_file`¶

Description:: To increase performance of job execution and the web interface, you can separate Galaxy into multiple processes. There are more than one way to do this, and they are explained in detail in the documentation: https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/admin/scaling.html By default, Galaxy manages and executes jobs from within a single process and notifies itself of new jobs via in-memory queues. Jobs are run locally on the system on which Galaxy is started. Advanced job running capabilities can be configured through the job configuration file or the <job_config> option. The value of this option will be resolved with respect to <config_dir>.
Default:: job_conf.yml
Type:: str

Description:: Rather than specifying a dependency_resolvers_config_file, the definition of the resolvers to enable can be embedded into Galaxy’s config with this option. This has no effect if a dependency_resolvers_config_file is used. The syntax, available resolvers, and documentation of their options is explained in detail in the documentation: https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/admin/dependency_resolvers.html
Default:: None
Type:: seq

`dependency_resolution`¶

Description:: Alternative representation of various dependency resolution parameters. Takes the dictified version of a DependencyManager object - so this is ideal for automating the configuration of dependency resolution from one application that uses a DependencyManager to another.
Default:: None
Type:: map

`default_job_resubmission_condition`¶

Description:: When jobs fail due to job runner problems, Galaxy can be configured to retry these or reroute the jobs to new destinations. Very fine control of this is available with resubmit declarations in the job config. For simple deployments of Galaxy though, the following attribute can define resubmission conditions for all job destinations. If any job destination defines even one resubmission condition explicitly in the job config - the condition described by this option will not apply to that destination. For instance, the condition: ‘attempt < 3 and unknown_error and (time_running < 300 or time_since_queued < 300)’ would retry up to two times jobs that didn’t fail due to detected memory or walltime limits but did fail quickly (either while queueing or running). The commented out default below results in no default job resubmission condition, failing jobs are just failed outright.
Default:: None
Type:: str

`track_jobs_in_database`¶

Description:: This option is deprecated, use the mem-self handler assignment option in the job configuration instead.
Default:: true
Type:: bool

`use_tasked_jobs`¶

Description:: This enables splitting of jobs into tasks, if specified by the particular tool config. This is a new feature and not recommended for production servers yet.
Default:: false
Type:: bool

`local_task_queue_workers`¶

Description:: This enables splitting of jobs into tasks, if specified by the particular tool config. This is a new feature and not recommended for production servers yet.
Default:: 2
Type:: int

`job_handler_monitor_sleep`¶

Description:: Each Galaxy job handler process runs one thread responsible for discovering jobs and dispatching them to runners. This thread operates in a loop and sleeps for the given number of seconds at the end of each iteration. This can be decreased if extremely high job throughput is necessary, but doing so can increase CPU usage of handler processes. Float values are allowed.
Default:: 1.0
Type:: float

`job_runner_monitor_sleep`¶

Description:: Each Galaxy job handler process runs one thread per job runner plugin responsible for checking the state of queued and running jobs. This thread operates in a loop and sleeps for the given number of seconds at the end of each iteration. This can be decreased if extremely high job throughput is necessary, but doing so can increase CPU usage of handler processes. Float values are allowed.
Default:: 1.0
Type:: float

`workflow_monitor_sleep`¶

Description:: Each Galaxy workflow handler process runs one thread responsible for checking the state of active workflow invocations. This thread operates in a loop and sleeps for the given number of seconds at the end of each iteration. This can be decreased if extremely high job throughput is necessary, but doing so can increase CPU usage of handler processes. Float values are allowed.
Default:: 1.0
Type:: float

`metadata_strategy`¶

Description:: Determines how metadata will be set. Valid values are directory, extended, directory_celery and extended_celery. In extended mode jobs will decide if a tool run failed, the object stores configuration is serialized and made available to the job and is used for writing output datasets to the object store as part of the job and dynamic output discovery (e.g. discovered datasets <discover_datasets>, unpopulated collections, etc) happens as part of the job. In directory_celery and extended_celery metadata will be set within a celery task.
Default:: directory
Type:: str

`retry_metadata_internally`¶

Description:: Although it is fairly reliable, setting metadata can occasionally fail. In these instances, you can choose to retry setting it internally or leave it in a failed state (since retrying internally may cause the Galaxy process to be unresponsive). If this option is set to false, the user will be given the option to retry externally, or set metadata manually (when possible).
Default:: true
Type:: bool

`max_metadata_value_size`¶

Description:: Very large metadata values can cause Galaxy crashes. This will allow limiting the maximum metadata key size (in bytes used in memory, not the end result database value size) Galaxy will attempt to save with a dataset. Use 0 to disable this feature. The default is 5MB, but as low as 1MB seems to be a reasonable size.
Default:: 5242880
Type:: int

`outputs_to_working_directory`¶

Description:: This option will override tool output paths to write outputs to the job working directory (instead of to the file_path) and the job manager will move the outputs to their proper place in the dataset directory on the Galaxy server after the job completes. This is necessary (for example) if jobs run on a cluster and datasets can not be created by the user running the jobs (e.g. if the filesystem is mounted read-only or the jobs are run by a different user than the galaxy user).
Default:: false
Type:: bool

`retry_job_output_collection`¶

Description:: If your network filesystem’s caching prevents the Galaxy server from seeing the job’s stdout and stderr files when it completes, you can retry reading these files. The job runner will retry the number of times specified below, waiting 1 second between tries. For NFS, you may want to try the -noac mount option (Linux) or -actimeo=0 (Solaris).
Default:: 0
Type:: int

`tool_evaluation_strategy`¶

Description:: Determines which process will evaluate the tool command line. If set to “local” the tool command line, configuration files and other dynamic values will be templated in the job handler process. If set to remote the tool command line will be built as part of the submitted job. Note that remote is a beta setting that will be useful for materializing deferred datasets as part of the submitted job. Note also that you have to set metadata_strategy to extended if you set this option to remote.
Default:: local
Type:: str

`preserve_python_environment`¶

Description:: In the past Galaxy would preserve its Python environment when running jobs ( and still does for internal tools packaged with Galaxy). This behavior exposes Galaxy internals to tools and could result in problems when activating Python environments for tools (such as with Conda packaging). The default legacy_only will restrict this behavior to tools identified by the Galaxy team as requiring this environment. Set this to “always” to restore the previous behavior (and potentially break Conda dependency resolution for many tools). Set this to legacy_and_local to preserve the environment for legacy tools and locally managed tools (this might be useful for instance if you are installing software into Galaxy’s virtualenv for tool development).
Default:: legacy_only
Type:: str

`cleanup_job`¶

Description:: Clean up various bits of jobs left on the filesystem after completion. These bits include the job working directory, external metadata temporary files, and DRM stdout and stderr files (if using a DRM). Possible values are: always, onsuccess, never
Default:: always
Type:: str

`drmaa_external_runjob_script`¶

Description:: When running DRMAA jobs as the Galaxy user (https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/admin/cluster.html#submitting-jobs-as-the-real-user) this script is used to run the job script Galaxy generates for a tool execution. Example value ‘sudo -E scripts/drmaa_external_runner.py –assign_all_groups’
Default:: None
Type:: str

`drmaa_external_killjob_script`¶

Description:: When running DRMAA jobs as the Galaxy user (https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/admin/cluster.html#submitting-jobs-as-the-real-user) this script is used to kill such jobs by Galaxy (e.g. if the user cancels the job). Example value ‘sudo -E scripts/drmaa_external_killer.py’
Default:: None
Type:: str

`external_chown_script`¶

Description:: When running DRMAA jobs as the Galaxy user (https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/admin/cluster.html#submitting-jobs-as-the-real-user) this script is used transfer permissions back and forth between the Galaxy user and the user that is running the job. Example value ‘sudo -E scripts/external_chown_script.py’
Default:: None
Type:: str

`real_system_username`¶

Description:: When running DRMAA jobs as the Galaxy user (https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/admin/cluster.html#submitting-jobs-as-the-real-user) Galaxy can extract the user name from the email address (actually the local-part before the @) or the username which are both stored in the Galaxy data base. The latter option is particularly useful for installations that get the authentication from LDAP. Also, Galaxy can accept the name of a common system user (eg. galaxy_worker) who can run every job being submitted. This user should not be the same user running the galaxy system. Possible values are user_email (default), username or <common_system_user>
Default:: user_email
Type:: str

`environment_setup_file`¶

Description:: File to source to set up the environment when running jobs. By default, the environment in which the Galaxy server starts is used when running jobs locally, and the environment set up per the DRM’s submission method and policy is used when running jobs on a cluster (try testing with qsub on the command line). environment_setup_file can be set to the path of a file on the cluster that should be sourced by the user to set up the environment prior to running tools. This can be especially useful for running jobs as the actual user, to remove the need to configure each user’s environment individually.
Default:: None
Type:: str

`enable_beta_markdown_export`¶

Description:: Enable export of Galaxy Markdown documents (pages and workflow reports) to PDF. Requires manual installation and setup of weasyprint (latest version available for Python 2.7 is 0.42).
Default:: false

Description:: CSS file to apply to “Galaxy Page” exports to PDF. Generally prefer markdown_export_css, but this is here for deployments that would like to tailor different kinds of exports. The value of this option will be resolved with respect to <config_dir>.
Default:: markdown_export_pages.css
Type:: str

`markdown_export_css_invocation_reports`¶

Description:: CSS file to apply to invocation report exports to PDF. Generally prefer markdown_export_css, but this is here for deployments that would like to tailor different kinds of exports. The value of this option will be resolved with respect to <config_dir>.
Default:: markdown_export_invocation_reports.css
Type:: str

`markdown_export_prologue`¶

Type:: str

`markdown_export_prologue_invocation_reports`¶

Description:: Alternative to markdown_export_prologue that applies just to invocation report exports.
Default:: ""
Type:: str

`markdown_export_epilogue_pages`¶

Description:: Alternative to markdown_export_epilogue that applies just to page exports.
Default:: ""
Type:: str

`markdown_export_epilogue_invocation_reports`¶

Description:: Alternative to markdown_export_epilogue that applies just to invocation report exports.
Default:: ""
Type:: str

`job_resource_params_file`¶

Description:: Optional file containing job resource data entry fields definition. These fields will be presented to users in the tool forms and allow them to overwrite default job resources such as number of processors, memory and walltime. The value of this option will be resolved with respect to <config_dir>.
Default:: job_resource_params_conf.xml
Type:: str

`workflow_resource_params_file`¶

Description:: Similar to the above parameter, workflows can describe parameters used to influence scheduling of jobs within the workflow. This requires both a description of the fields available (which defaults to the definitions in job_resource_params_file if not set). The value of this option will be resolved with respect to <config_dir>.
Default:: workflow_resource_params_conf.xml
Type:: str

`workflow_resource_params_mapper`¶

Description:: This parameter describes how to map users and workflows to a set of workflow resource parameter to present (typically input IDs from workflow_resource_params_file). If this this is a function reference it will be passed various inputs (workflow model object and user) and it should produce a list of input IDs. If it is a path it is expected to be an XML or YAML file describing how to map group names to parameter descriptions (additional types of mappings via these files could be implemented but haven’t yet - for instance using workflow tags to do the mapping). Sample default path ‘config/workflow_resource_mapper_conf.yml.sample’
Default:: None
Type:: str

`workflow_schedulers_config_file`¶

Description:: Optional configuration file similar to job_config_file to specify which Galaxy processes should schedule workflows. The value of this option will be resolved with respect to <config_dir>.
Default:: workflow_schedulers_conf.xml
Type:: str

`cache_user_job_count`¶

Description:: If using job concurrency limits (configured in job_config_file), several extra database queries must be performed to determine the number of jobs a user has dispatched to a given destination. By default, these queries will happen for every job that is waiting to run, but if cache_user_job_count is set to true, it will only happen once per iteration of the handler queue. Although better for performance due to reduced queries, the trade-off is a greater possibility that jobs will be dispatched past the configured limits if running many handlers.
Default:: false
Type:: bool

`toolbox_auto_sort`¶

Description:: If true, the toolbox will be sorted by tool id when the toolbox is loaded. This is useful for ensuring that tools are always displayed in the same order in the UI. If false, the order of tools in the toolbox will be preserved as they are loaded from the tool config files.
Default:: true
Type:: bool

Default:: galaxy.tools.filters,galaxy.tools.toolbox.filters,galaxy.tool_util.toolbox.filters
Type:: str

`amqp_internal_connection`¶

Description:: Galaxy uses AMQP internally for communicating between processes. For example, when reloading the toolbox or locking job execution, the process that handled that particular request will tell all others to also reload, lock jobs, etc. For connection examples, see https://docs.celeryq.dev/projects/kombu/en/stable/userguide/connections.html Without specifying anything here, galaxy will first attempt to use your specified database_connection above. If that’s not specified either, Galaxy will automatically create and use a separate sqlite database located in your <galaxy>/database folder (indicated in the commented out line below).
Default:: sqlalchemy+sqlite:///./database/control.sqlite?isolation_level=IMMEDIATE
Type:: str

`celery_conf`¶

Description:: Configuration options passed to Celery. To refer to a task by name, use the template galaxy.foo where foo is the function name of the task defined in the galaxy.celery.tasks module. The broker_url option, if unset, defaults to the value of amqp_internal_connection. The result_backend option must be set if the enable_celery_tasks option is set. The galaxy.fetch_data task can be disabled by setting its route to “disabled”: galaxy.fetch_data: disabled. (Other tasks cannot be disabled on a per-task basis at this time.) For details, see Celery documentation at https://docs.celeryq.dev/en/stable/userguide/configuration.html.
Default:: {'task_routes': {'galaxy.fetch_data': 'galaxy.external', 'galaxy.set_job_metadata': 'galaxy.external'}}
Type:: any

`use_pbkdf2`¶

Description:: Allow disabling pbkdf2 hashing of passwords for legacy situations. This should normally be left enabled unless there is a specific reason to disable it.
Default:: true
Type:: bool

`select_type_workflow_threshold`¶

Description:: Due to performance considerations (select2 fields are pretty ‘expensive’ in terms of memory usage) Galaxy uses the regular select fields for non-dataset selectors in the workflow run form. use 0 in order to always use select2 fields, use -1 (default) in order to always use the regular select fields, use any other positive number as threshold (above threshold: regular select fields will be used)
Default:: -1
Type:: int

`admin_tool_recommendations_path`¶

Description:: Set path to the additional tool preferences from Galaxy admins. It has two blocks. One for listing deprecated tools which will be removed from the recommendations and another is for adding additional tools to be recommended along side those from the deep learning model. The value of this option will be resolved with respect to <config_dir>.
Default:: tool_recommendations_overwrite.yml
Type:: str

`overwrite_model_recommendations`¶

Description:: Overwrite or append to the tool recommendations by the deep learning model. When set to true, all the recommendations by the deep learning model are overwritten by the recommendations set by an admin in a config file ‘tool_recommendations_overwrite.yml’. When set to false, the recommended tools by admins and predicted by the deep learning model are shown.
Default:: false
Type:: bool
