Sep 4, 2024 | short, comparison of two methods | tool versions, answers to the questions, adding bandage to workflow, generated bandage pics look completely dfferent |
Jun 24, 2024 | Most of it! I'm mostly informing y'all at galaxy about a specific issue. | The four images following this line "For a simple case, imagine a bacterial genome that contains a single repeated element in two separate places in the chromosome:" are unavailable for viewing. |
Aug 11, 2023 | Spades tutorial is correct | Velvet tutorial is not working, I follow the instructions and didn't got a final image it went white all, so think is something up to the tutorial or the tool |
Mar 25, 2019 | Easy to follow | |
Sep 19, 2018 | Everything works with provided data and the scale is good for use in class | Could you provide the fragment size separating the paired ends? It would also be nice to have more info for instructors about the genome for doing additional exercises based on the assemblies. |

Aug 24, 2024 | tPlease, give more information, for exmaple to put a video or more information it was difficult to think at the end I needed to push run/play button. There is a need to indicate the files to use if there is one or multiple files. | |
May 30, 2024 | that it explains why we are doing each step and how quality parameters should be, as well as telling you why our ensamble may be incorrect so you can correct your work | perhaps, that it could include a little bit more of theory but it was fine as it´s just a tutorial (i used this for studying really, not for practicing an assembly) |
Mar 22, 2024 | the workshop with lots of details and solution for every question | more detailed explanation about the Galaxy functions(how they work and the meaning of outputs) |
Mar 1, 2024 | it is friendly, and so useful | |
Dec 18, 2022 | I could follow step by step the directions | I was stacked in the velveth assembly cos I was in the wrong version of the program. Maybe is necessary to add this to the tutorial. |
Nov 20, 2022 | Everything, except the Velvet choice. | Use another software besides Velvet, since it's deprecated and it's not working. |
Jun 30, 2022 | most of the functionsare different what is given here | please insert screen shorts of the results, how the output look like |
Apr 26, 2022 | It is easy to follow up as you practice. | More examples to practice with. |
Mar 12, 2022 | Simplicity. | Considering this is an introduction to assembly, it would be helpful if the steps are complete as some steps may have been skipped. It would also be useful if pictures can be added for some steps. When ran, the results stated in this tutorial doesnt match with the output even if the instructions is strictly followed |
Oct 26, 2021 | Clarity, granularity, hands-on | Could have a similar tutorial for long read assembly (Nanopore, PB) , and I suppose 'hybrid assembly' , but this one is probably adequate for all these purposes. |
Feb 10, 2021 | you may show the progression files in green to show us the file we have after each step i have problem with FASTQ interlacer i follow the tutorials and after this step i have two files one of them is empty and it's not working for the further stem with velveth so i'm stock at this step i don'understand why | |
Oct 9, 2020 | Easy to follow | The options that appear now, are not the same that this tutorial shows. |
Jul 2, 2020 | Simple enough. | There isn't much information to give the learner the background to interpret their own data. There should be an introduction of what each of the parameters specified for the hands-on session means and why the learner should be setting them as instructed. That's the only way to know whether this tutorial is suitable for the learner's own dataset to follow. |

Apr 1, 2020 | I miss some screenshot of how my data should look. At one point, in one of the steps where I had to choose some columns from a matrix to work on, I kept getting a wrong result. And I think the reason was, that I had something different in some of the columns than what I should have (so if for example I was asked to choose column 1, the data I was trying to get was actually in column 2) - if there were some screenshots of what the data should look like, I might have been able to see if I had a column too much |

Aug 13, 2021 | The activity was very interactive with a good combination of theory and practical | The last step on NCBI BLAST search was not clear enough to a biginner like me |
May 18, 2021 | The basics of each step explained very clearly. | Maybe the names of the files which need to be put in the field for the tool. Took a bit of time to understand in few places. |
Feb 19, 2021 | How in depth and clear it was. | |
Feb 19, 2021 | it was very helpful. | |
Jan 19, 2021 | Très didactique | Peut être ajouter des copies d'écrans de l'historique ? (repérer les numéro d'actions) Mais peut être "anxiogène" si on a refait certaines opérations et que l'on perd ce repère de numéro...Donc non en fait :) |

Sep 12, 2024 | I like the different tool options that the tutorial provided. | I could not reproduce "View Reads" section with the direction given above. |
May 22, 2023 | Interesting genome for tutorial and explanation of how to do long read assembly with short read polishing. | |
Mar 31, 2022 | pictures - screenshots can be added | |
Mar 22, 2022 | I learnt new tools that i haven't used before | |
Mar 17, 2022 | i liked on how to polish nano-pore reads | |
Mar 15, 2022 | Very easy to use and effective | |
Mar 15, 2022 | good intro course on assembly | some more theory about polishing and why |
Mar 15, 2022 | All aspect | Not much improvement |
Dec 23, 2021 | Circos plot of the data should also be included. | |
Nov 30, 2021 | Very assertive and good guidance | More intuitive guidance |
Jul 10, 2021 | The overall training session was really nice. | However, some more information regarding the viewing in Jbrowse should be discussed like what to analyse in Jbrowse, how to spot irregularities and how to spot meaningful data? What kind of useful data can be visualized or can we get from the visualization in the Jbrowse. |
Jun 30, 2021 | The idea of comparing long and short reads and how to use short reads to polish the results | It would be great if there was a little explanation of how the tools work |
Feb 20, 2021 | I´d like to know how I can get a unique assemble using more than one pair of Illumina reads for the same DNA, for example the same bacterial strain. It is possible? | |
Feb 16, 2021 | Loved the self training with new data at the end. Helps user create a workflow to re run the steps rapidly and compare results. The tutorials were very clear and easy to understand | |
Feb 15, 2021 | Clear and easy | |
Jan 2, 2021 | Clear Explanations | I noticed the "Note: this tool is heuristic; your results may differ slightly from the results here, and if repeated." But mine only showed one contig, with a length of 158kbp. I would consider this very different, not slightly different. Maybe add a few more examples of "slightly different" results I am running the tool again to see what I get. Additionally it took a long time to run this tool; almost an hour. So it would be nice to know approximately how long a tool is going to take, (given the fastq file & runtime parameters), or maybe show the log file while it is running (assuming the actual tool writes to the log file rather than just storing the info in memory and writing the log at the end...) |

Oct 9, 2024 | the messy assembly ;-) | |
Feb 15, 2024 | Hi all -- the reads for this tutorial are incorrect at the zenodo site. Both are interleaved fastq, and the second (labeled as the "reverse" file) has a content problem. The tutorial workflow will happily process the data as-is, except for a fastqc failure on that second file (reported as truncated). > End-User Workaround: use only the first file, de-interlace as a new first step, rename the split files, get rid of the originals (to avoid mixing up data), then proceed with the remainder of the tutorial. Self-pinging so I can find this later @jennaj | |
Feb 12, 2024 | Following the tutorial did not work in my hands. I loaded the data via Paste/Fetch, but already in the FastQC step I get an error for dataset 2: "An error occurred with this dataset: format txt database ?" | |
Jan 17, 2024 | The explanations are very clear and the tutorial is very easy to follow | The Table to GFF3 is no longer available, so I couldn't finish the tutorial. And I didn't find an alternative tool to Table to GFF3. |

Sep 1, 2022 | To test the tools of assembly in a control dataset | I think it could be valable to understand the tools and the parameters of the tools while using them: to not do it without thinking it through. I think it is better to understand to remember. |
Jun 8, 2022 | straightforward | would have liked to have some practice viewing the assembly graphs and with visual methods for comparing genomes (e.g. dot, synteny plots) |

Oct 25, 2022 | Table to gff3 tool does not exist anymore. When I use the tutorial mode on galaxy and click on the table to gff3 hyperlink button, i get this message: Loading tool toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/iuc/tbl2gff3/tbl2gff3/1.2 failed: Could not find tool with id 'toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/iuc/tbl2gff3/tbl2gff3/1.2'. Do you have any advice on which other tool to use? Also, in a prior feedback I mentioned that I could not find select the lines, but it is actually there I found it in the end. sorry for the mistake. | |
Oct 25, 2022 | It was easy to follow the steps and the functions ran in a good amount of time (relatively fast) | - I got stuck in staramr. there was a recurrent error due to ERROR: 'Predicted Phenotype'. This error was reported. it appears to be due to a problem of compatibility with the pandas version (https://github.com/phac-nml/staramr/issues/115) - Genome annotation using Prokka, step 2 (Select lines that match an expression) has changed names to Search in Textfiles (grep) - Table to GFF3 function: I was unable to find this function under the Galaxy tools. downstream commands could not be ran. |

Jun 25, 2024 | great! I liked that I was able to use multiple methods to check the quality of my genome assembly. | The Chromeister tool is not available in the tools search menu as of today on Galaxy (the US instatnce). Also, I would have appreciated more orientation to the plots generated in " Hands-on: K-mer based evaluation with Merqury". I had a difficult answering the follow-up question because I was unsure what all of the axes and lables meant. |

Nov 11, 2024 | gfastats was not working and I could not remove the sequences at the end of the tutorial | |
Nov 1, 2024 | everything except the two points below in the "what could be improved" section | In the Parse mitochondrial blast section, I got two output files. The tutorial doesn't mention that there are two, and it tells me to rename the output, but doesn't tell me which one. In the final step (gfastats), it's not clear what the input file should be. The tutorial just says, "output (Input dataset)"...which unless I missed something isn't helpful at all. |
Oct 11, 2024 | some details are lacking in instructions | |
Oct 8, 2024 | blast took more than one hour, maybe the step can be omitted in the tutorial and the results file can be provided? |

Aug 14, 2024 | Everything is described very extensively and nicely and it's easy to follow | Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get through the "Build and preview the GTN website" and "Editing Training Materials on GitPod", I can modify the md template, but it doesn't get reflected in the preview. Clicking on the server address also throws me an error :/ |
Mar 27, 2023 | Good alternative to local running of GTN, thanks | |
Nov 29, 2022 | step by step, screenshots, global structure of the training content, indications when things seem to get wrong when in fact it is not, good job! | Difficult to know what to do when GitPod sends back an error after the "make serve-gitpod" command instead of serving a preview of GTN. I can guess it is a GitPod problem and not a GTN tutorial problem, still I feel helpless not knowing what to do to solve this problem. |

Jul 1, 2021 | Plenty of detail, teaching by example, and context provided | > Written in markdown ### General - Should I be working in a clone of `galaxyproject/galaxy`? - Where are all the galaxy tools? They don't seem to be in the galaxy/tools/ dir? This is covered well in the "contributing" video at the end but could have mentioned briefly at the start. More generally, it would be good to explain that `galaxy-core` has built-in tools (with no `.shed.yml` file) and that all contributed tools (like we're building) are installed from an available toolshed. - I'm not sure if I should actually be following along with all of this... should I actually make a PR for a new Bioconda package in a tutorial? It would be great to clarify what the participant should be doing NOW versus what they would do in a genuine tool wrap. Also, presumably the package sometimes exists already in Bioconda? (I used an existing conda package in my 'practice' tool wrap). - At the end of the "Toolshed file" section: "In the case where the directory represents a group of tools or a ‘suite’, there are additional overarching sections into which the above tags fall" ... seems to imply that parent dirs can/should have a `.shed.yml` file too? Or is it only in `suite` and `suite/tool` dirs? Would be great to clarify or provide a link to a toolshed on GitHub as an example. - "Macros" section: should note that whitespace inside `<token>` tags matters, and it will not be trimmed by the XML parser! (Should be picked up by the `planemo lint`) ### Typos - `bellerophon.xml` typo under "discover datasets": `directory="outputs"/>>` - And "Outputs section" (should have closing `/>` on `<data>` according to planemo): `<data name="outfile" label="${tool.name} on ${on_string}" format="bam">` - "crate an ad-hoc Galaxy" ### Planemo - Didn't work when `pip` installed into `conda` env (dependancy errors). `pip` install into a `virtualenv` env worked. - `pip` installing `planemo` into virtualenv requires `apt install python3-venv` as a dependancy **Some small issues with Planemo** - `tool_test_output.html` output is a bit weird to navigate - buttons don't look like buttons (no hover effect) so most of the content is hidden until you realise there are clickable elements - `planemo serve` doesn't print the local address at the end of output (had to scroll up a few pages to find `http://127.0.0.1:9090`) |

Apr 18, 2023 | - (Maybe just me) Too much content, too fast. - Account on a production Galaxy instance is required. I did not have one and it took me a while to get set up - Some familiarity with Jupyter Notebooks seems to be another prerequisite |

Dec 7, 2023 | Good tutorial, but it is outdated. There is no training branch to be found on the galaxy Github (no old training, no new training2022 or the like). I managed to find the branch here: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/14339 and cloned https://github.com/jdavcs/galaxy/tree/training2022 which made me able to do the training. But I believe that is the reason there were minor differences furtherdown the tutorial as it is a year old so I think this is the problem that would fix the rest. | Updating to latest changes |

Apr 14, 2021 | I liked that it is possible to use real data and explore multiple tools. It was relatively easy to follow all the way to the final step. I could also take the Structure output and run it through Structure in Galaxy or in my own PC to further demonstrate that the SNP data can be analysed with population genomic software. | Some of the instructions need to be updated to the latest versions of the tools available in Galaxy. I could not tell which population (1 or 2) was the freshwater and which one was the oceanic, so I assumed 1=freshwater, 2=oceanic. It would also be good to see some of the "expected" results, just to verify that what has been done is working fine and that students are on the right track. |

Jul 27, 2023 | Very helpful tutorial, thank you for posting it! | You should state explicitly what the input file(s) should be at each step. Each function produces multiple outputs; It is not clear what I am supposed to run Stacks: populations ON, for instance. |
Jul 12, 2023 | I liked that there was an example dataset to follow along with, and questions to be answered as you went along. It really helped me understand what I was supposed to be looking for, whether something was actually working or not, and what real outputs would look like. | Stacks (not sure about Stacks2) process_radtags doesn't work when the data are converted from fastqsanger.gz to fastqsanger. Data have to be left in the fastqsanger.gz format to properly demultiplex. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why this step of the tutorial wasn't working. Also, I couldn't find the Charts function, so I ended up skipping this step of the tutorial. |

Nov 28, 2024 | Hi, either I am doing something wrong, but recentrifuge returns an error, Unsupported file format, when submitted with Kraken2 Report file, as the tutorial suggests. It works with Kraken2 Classification file. Here is my history on Galaxy Europe: https://usegalaxy.eu/u/igor/h/recentrifuge | |
Mar 27, 2024 | I found the tutorial very instructive, but special kudos to the contamination identification section with the Recentrifuge interactive plot. Many thanks! | When clicking on the Recentrifuge reference pointing to the paper, I see the DOI appears incomplete: it should be 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006967 (the last number is missing on the tutorial). |

Apr 23, 2024 | Reusability and ease of execution, it's really neat! | There seems to be more columns in OBIS data now, so it is maybe better to cut based on column names and not based on hard coded column number. May I also suggest to include the link to obisindicators in the text https://github.com/marinebon/obisindicators ? The text states "Obisindicators is an R library developed during the 2022 IOOS Code Sprint. The purpose was to create an ES50 diversity index within hexagonal grids following the diversity indicators notebook by Pieter Provoost linked above. " but I didn't manage to find the link. Thank you so much!! |

Feb 3, 2024 | Details | For someone trying without support, there are some mandatory fields in hicbuildmatrix that are not explained: 1. Need to add the hicfindrestsite step to generate the compulsory contact bed file 2. Need to add a dangling sequence for the restriction enzyme for hicbuildmatrix |
Jan 5, 2023 | The tutorial was simple to follow and was a great balance between guidance and letting do things myself | Some of the steps seem outdated with some parameter having changed names or being not available anymore. But it doesn't prevent the completion of the tutorial. |
Jan 3, 2023 | I like the detailed instructions of this tool. | When I tred to follow the steps of hicBuildMatrix and ran it on usegalaxy. It showed that I need to provide BED file with all restriction cut places. Could you tell me how to choose to use the bin size or where I can find the BED file? |
Feb 1, 2021 | Covered all the steps | Parameters could have been explained |
Jul 19, 2020 | step wise explanation was very clear | comparison of two HiC datasets |
Dec 9, 2019 | Note from @jennaj: Noticed mismatched tools across tuto components. The "Reads mapping" step description states "We have used the HiCExplorer successfully with bwa, bowtie2 and hisat2. In this tutorial we will be using Map with BWA-MEM tool." *However* the "Hands-on: Mapping reads" box has the mapping tool specified as "Map with Bowtie". The tool name doesn't fully match a Galaxy wrapped tool but looks as if it was intended to match "Map with Bowtie for Illumina" tool from some earlier tutorial revision, but the tool options/settings are actually for "Bowtie2" (tweak SAM/BAM output). The tuto workflow uses "Map with BWA-MEM (Galaxy Version 0.8.0)" which isn't available at EU or ORG (or that version is hidden in the tool panel + tool versions menu). --------- Punchline ... three different tools are mixed up, at the first step of the tuto after loading the initial fastq inputs. Probably should adjust to make all for either Bowtie2 or BWA-MEM using a version available at EU (so it can be run there). Be nice to have this work at (at least) one of the usegalaxy.* servers :) ORG doesn't include HiC tools. Will ticket this and whatever else is found after reviewing the remainder of steps. | |
Feb 28, 2019 | Nothing bad, just I do not have sufficient background knowledge to comprehend everything. Nevertheless, very well-structured for a beginner to learn. | |

After that, I wasn’t able to replicate the subsequent steps. I suggest providing clearer instructions for each step. Additionally, I would like to know more about how to group the data for analysis. This part feels a bit too concise. Overall, this material has been helpful for me to apply it to my own data, although I may need to explore additional tools&Analysis on my own. Thank you! And I was wondering if it is possible to build a comprehensive analysis workflow for Methyl-BS-Seq data in Galaxy similar to the cross-package Bioconductor workflow for analyzing methylation array data (published in F1000Research). :) | |

Sep 20, 2021 | It would be great if this can be updated based on the newest version of the packages used in the tutorial. Some of the parameters cannot be set as shown in this tutorial or should be set in a different way. | |
Sep 8, 2021 | Instructions about finding tutorial data in a Data Library need to be updated. In this tutorial and probably others. Tutorial data is now nested at usegalaxy.* servers -- and that change is confusing some learners. I've been telling people to search data libraries with the keyword "GTN" then to navigate down through the topic to the specific tutorial. Not all public servers will host the data in Data Libs, so even that advice needs a tune up to be consistent/accurate across tutorials. (@jennaj) | |
Mar 24, 2020 | The degree of detail. I loved that even the parameters for the different tools were explained. I don't know if this is comparable to a real experiment analysis, but it surely felt as that. Congrats! | The Genrich tool is only available at the GalaxyEurope server. It would be nice that a warning would be given at the beginning of the tutorial, so that the whole analysis could be done there and avoid migrating data between Galaxy servers. |
Feb 4, 2020 | The tutorial is self explanatory and very easy to follow for individual hands on | |
Sep 26, 2019 | The good explanations during hands-on training | Maybe too different analysis for one day (HiC and epigentics), maybe a longer session for each would help understanding |

Dec 16, 2021 | Well detailed method of ChIPseq and associated explanations | The title in itself doesn't really reflect the final results of the tutorial, with the data used one do not really identify TAD on the inactive X chromosome... |
Jan 10, 2020 | In step 6 it is explained to insert each of the datasets one after the other (with Concatenate datasets tail-to-head). However, one can insert more than one dataset at once with this tool, so why not do that? Also, it should read "Redo for the remaining four outputs of MACS2 callpeak" - it is six in total and in the first step you concatenate two and then add the remaining. Why are the bedgraph files created if they are not used for anything? |

Jul 1, 2024 | The materials presented and resources provided where put together well. I liked that questions could be asked throughout the presentation and that I could ask basic questions without feeling like they were too basic. I think the content was well pitched for someone like me who had phylogenetic training 20 years ago. I liked the breadth of the content covered but my knowledge is so poor that it did overwhelm me towards the end. That was expected though. | Although I can see the workshop can't go any longer, as my brain couldn't cope, I did struggle towards the end to keep pace with everything. Having said that, it was good to get the breadth of content in and I will enjoy revisiting the resources provided to consolidate the knowledge. A follow up workshop is really needed as the distance matrices and the best models to choose seemed like they needed more time spent on them. |

Mar 11, 2024 | It's a clear overview of all the functionality that's available in the ro-crate-py package - I feel like I have a good understanding of how to use it going forward | - clearer distinction between commands that must be run in a terminal (e.g. mkdir) and commands that can be run in a notebook. Also the terminal commands are assuming JupyterLab is running on a Linux machine which may not be the case. - The example for the `rocrate add` command could be improved by creating a separate repo for the data rather than cloning the whole ro-crate-py repo. Having to deal with a long path of nested directories makes it harder to follow this section. |

Jun 19, 2023 | very nice progression in the explanation! I like the practicality of the tasks | the "openstack" provider has been demoted(?) so the source "terraform-provider-openstack/openstack" has to be added to the configuration to make this work now. it would be nice if the cluster example worked with a plain centos7 image. there does not seem to be a condor package in plain centos7, so I guess it would have to be replaced by some other cluster service, e.g., haproxy and nginx. still, it was nice to see the NFS setup - although the automounter did not work for me, that's not the point of the tutorial. thanks! |
Jun 24, 2021 | realistc examples | More details regarding used scripts and templates |
Jun 20, 2020 | Basically I love all of them, It's simple, clear and easy to follow. | Would be nice to have more complex examples to follow, if that possible |
Dec 19, 2018 | Really detailed, could use it for my project for creating my project | maybe go deeper and show a template for a project |

Mar 17, 2022 | I would be great if it could explain how to run ephemeris from a different machine (for example my local machine) but deploying galaxy on the vm | |
Mar 14, 2022 | The slides gave a really useful overview of toolsheds and how to configure them. | It would be useful if the links to ephemeris commands would open in a new tab (I would prefer this for links in general but especially in this case as you have to do it in the middle of a task and it's not just further reading) |
Jun 29, 2021 | The practical approach | |
Jan 27, 2021 | easy to understand and follow | |
Jan 26, 2021 | It shows me a really easy way of installing tools from tool shed avoiding the use of the graphical interface. That is perfect when you need to install many tools at once. | It could be explained how to include this tasks in the ansible playbook (if possible) in the case of a full re-installation of Galaxy. Or maybe better separate the two steps... |
Jan 26, 2021 | all the examples worked | The flow of the tutorial feels awkward in places - you extract the workflow but then install a tool singly before going back to the extracted .yml to do a batch. Not directly related to this tutorial but coming from the previous Galaxy setup tutorials, I'm left thinking - what happened to Ansible and the concept of reinstalling the entire Galaxy in one playbook? |
Jan 26, 2021 | very beneficial pace! | |
Jan 26, 2021 | Everything, from top to bottom. |

Aug 30, 2022 | The instructions were clear and helpful (especially with the video alongside) | It would be super helpful if there were more subsection links! I set followed this tutorial to setup a server for my team, and when they had questions or wanted more info on why or how I did certain things it would have been nice to be able to link them more specifically to the step I wanted instead of the bigger section and then giving them key words to search for |
Jul 28, 2022 | relatively easy to follow, concept explanations are great | |
Jun 29, 2022 | tree -l 2 was helpful as otherwise unclear which file goes where | Current version of the tutorial is broken, consider rolling back to archive. Ansible errors very hard to troubleshoot - ideally add more tips where things can go wrong, for ex ansible vault seems to enter an unfixable state if you mess up the secret yml file and have to make it again |
Mar 18, 2022 | how seamless it was to deploy it | |
Mar 16, 2022 | Clear and structured - everything ran without issues on my machines | |
Mar 16, 2022 | the structure, it was very well organized | |
Feb 15, 2022 | Pretty simple step-by-step; A couple of syntax errors are included to make things "interesting" when trying to deploy. | Found another syntax error in the referenced tutorial: In the galaxy.j2 file, "location /_x_accel_redirect" should be "location /_x_accel_redirect/" |
Jan 15, 2022 | Code examples that you customize to your server set-up; hints and sidebars are very helpful; as is the in-depth explanation of what the code is doing. | One solution to errors that arise would be to try newer playbook versions. Although the tutorial cautioned that newer versions could create problems - in my case it solved problems. I found that the version of galaxyproject.galaxy used in the tutorial-- version: 0.9.16 was incompatible with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS - resulting in a failure to install "futures". When I changed to the newest galaxyproject.galaxy version the problem was solved. |

Jan 27, 2021 | The clear explanation of every part of the roles, modules etc. What they do why they're there. Even if I wasn't interested in everything it's good to know that if I ever need that information I can look back to this tutorial | I don't know if it can be improved but the actual time of the tutorial is really long. After watching it, I totally understand why but if it could be something like 1 hour videos (or less) that would be less tiring. Of course I am fully aware that there is a broad range of topics that need to be covered. |
Jan 27, 2021 | the step by step exercises | for me as a noob some diagrams or schemes would often be helpful to see how things relate to each others |
Jan 25, 2021 | very easy to follow; excellent documentation | note about using non- let's encrypt certificate |
Jan 25, 2021 | very structured and understandable | templates/nginx/galaxy.j2 -> "uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8080" should not be configured statically and changed to a variable from the groups_vars if the port is changed there in the uwsgi variable settings |
Aug 10, 2020 | It is very practical tutorial | I had to change those two variables to make it work on my ubuntu machine: "virtualenv_command: pyvenv" as it also recommends in README but not the default in the galaxy role "__galaxy_mutable_config_dir: "{{ galaxy_root }}/var/config" " my Ansible didn't understand the previous line defined variable, so I had to define "__galaxy_mutable_config_dir" base on "galaxy_root" variable |
Jul 7, 2020 | In the nginx-part, the template needs an update to reflect 20.05 changes. The folder /blue doesnt exist anymore, its just "alias {{ galaxy_server_dir }}/static/style" # The style directory is in a slightly different location location /static/style { alias {{ galaxy_server_dir }}/static/style/blue; expires 24h; } | |
Jul 6, 2020 | In the section "Galaxy" we add uchida.miniconda which has to run as galaxy user and a few linse above is explained that a new user is created without sudo privileges for security reasons. The execution of uchida.miniconda with become: true and become_user: galaxy will fail, because this role requires sudo. I tried to install the dependencies tar and bzip2 in my playbook beforehand, but the role still requires sudo to check if the packages are installed. When i install the package with a root-user, it is possible to execute the /tmp/Miniconda...sh file with the galaxy user. Not sure if other stuff works in miniconda too. Why does this role need to be executed as galaxy user? This is somewhat unclear and leads to an installation-error. | |
May 8, 2020 | The difference between galaxy_server_dir and galaxy_root is unclear. Should they be nested? Which of these is needed in a shared file-system? Maybe provide best-practice values for both, so it becomes more clear how they interact with each other. | |
May 5, 2020 | Tutorial includes code steps very clearly. | This is focused for paid distros. Centos 7/8 builds do not work due to package requirements and availability |
Mar 2, 2020 | Following the tutorial is pretty straightforward | It would be interesting to have a big picture of the processes / config files. Literally a big picture about which parts are we configuring and what are the implications. |
Mar 2, 2020 | exhaustive | it would be nice to go a bit slower during the Galaxy installation, it was quite quick ! |
Feb 14, 2020 | Everthing | |
Jul 1, 2019 | extremely well done - thank you training material authors and presenters | 1) ssh connection timeout is too short, disconnects while running playbooks. (2) sometimes the insertion point for yaml section in the exercices could be more explicit |
Jul 1, 2019 | I already followed this tutorial by my own before GCC. | I would add all the galaxy.yml and modify it instead of copy/paste some element in the playbook. For me, it's easier to get update shiped with each Galaxy update. |
Jul 1, 2019 | Very good step by step procedure. | perhaps more emphasis on some steps (geerlingguy.pip during supervisord) |
Jul 1, 2019 | well explained :) | sometimes it is not clear in the exercises which files have to be edited, or the code is not ready to copy-paste, which leads to misunderstandings. I would love to see the whole explanation of the variables of the config files you did (specially nginx) written down to check them when needed. |

Jan 28, 2021 | CVMFS is a great addition both for Galaxy and in general. It was a great thing to know. | In the tutorial nothing. It's perfect. I would like CVMFS to include reference genomes indexed for methylation analysis (e.g. with Bismark). I dropped a question about it in slack as well. |
Jan 27, 2021 | very easy to follow and understand. | |
Jan 27, 2021 | This is really cool!!!! | For the most used datasets (for ex. hg38) could we have a local copy, or would that be irrelevant? Could you explain how to calculate a good cache space? If I use a cluster, will I need to configure this FS in each node (given that the folder is at / directly)? |
Jan 26, 2021 | Clear, straightforward, brief and complete | |
Jan 26, 2021 | You guys rock! this CVMFS thing is so coool! | |
Jul 4, 2019 | the samples are great and its great to have the copy capacity, but some of those copies could mess people up (ones with ..., snippets of yaml that start with ---, etc) |

Jan 28, 2021 | This is a very well written tutorial. I really appreciated how we were shown ways to thoroughly check that rabbitmq was working as expected before moving on to the next step. | |
Jan 28, 2021 | Good detail | The tutorial assumes a bit more knowledge than a lot of the others so it won't be as useful for someone who comes to it stand-alone as a pulsar via ansible setup guide |

Jun 29, 2021 | Very interesting, the step by step approach is very clear | |
Jan 27, 2021 | all of it! | maybe some notes about what may require proxies |
Jan 26, 2021 | Great clarity. Thorough tutorial, leaves no stones unturned | "Modify the file" parts (e.g. points 1. and 5. of "Hands-on: Configure Galaxy to use Singularity") are clear and a useful exercise to better understand the ansible and galaxy hierarchy, but if for some reason you made a mistake in a previous step, it could be useful to also have a snippet of the whole modified code to fasten the correction process and avoid backtracking. |
Jan 26, 2021 | Nice, easy to follow | I'm coming at this as a non-galaxy user so jumping straight into the interface was initially a bit confusing, a quick video tour of the Galaxy interface (~5 minutes) beforehand would have made this easier for me |
Jan 26, 2021 | Everything is great. | sysadmin part could be little bit slower, its hard to catch on for us who are not from purely IT background. |

Jan 28, 2021 | Easy and useful | Regarding 'expose_potentially_sensitive_job_metrics' , is there an option to expose different metrics for admins and general users? For example, creating different profiles in templates/galaxy/config/job_metrics_conf.xml.j2 |
Jan 27, 2021 | I really need this knowledge. | I have stuck in the part of editing templates/galaxy/config/job_conf.xml.j2 because some lines differ from the resulting file from previous session (namely singularity was set as default) and I had to compare the file showed in the video with the file I had. I took some time, but it worked at the end. It seems not so complicated now, but it will be when connecting to a living cluster. What happens when I have SLURM already configured at the server? And MUNGE (this guy made some nodes crash here because of very large log files), do I need to configure it in the cluster? It was not clear. |
Jan 27, 2021 | Easily digestible | |
Jan 27, 2021 | fantastic, incredibly helpful. trainer is really great. | Would like info on adding to existing clusters (ie., SGE, etc) |
Jan 27, 2021 | Just the right amount of content, Slurm is so large it would have been easy to get over complicated | Minor: the references to pulsar in the examples could be confusing, might be worth adding a warning for anyone who is going through this tutorial before the pulsar tutorial |

Jul 22, 2021 | Lots of detail and a selection of realistic examples | The directories "./templates/galaxy/dynamic_job_rules/" and "./templates/galaxy/tools/" should actually be under another directory "./files/galaxy/ ... " for the latest Ansible roles to work! |
Jun 30, 2021 | Great introduction and very useful starting point for beginning to apply these features | |
Jan 28, 2021 | This is a powerful way of controlling the resource usage according to tool requirements. | This task includes many layers of complexity. It would be nice if, at the beginning or ending of each subtopic the needed changes were pointed in the file tree. For example, using the 'tree' command and then highlight all the files that have to be created / edited for this feature to work. It is just for better visualization of the modifications. I get something useful when calling git status. |
Jan 27, 2021 | I feel like I understand how to manage this quite well now | The Python code and some of the xml seems to paste into the cli with loads of new tab characters, in vim I used ':set paste' to switch off auto indent. Doesn't happen with the yml though |

Also, the 'admin favourites' section could include the arguments for the functions listed, e.g. <job_id>, for a bit more clarity |

Jan 15, 2022 | In-depth explanations and side bars of what the various commands are doing so you can easily troubleshoot and customize. | There is an "error" in the example code for the Galaxy/FTP portion of galaxyservers.yml. if you intend to use separate upload directories (with email addresses as the folder name) for each user - as the tutorial indicates will happen - then the current code (below) will result in the uploads going into the parent directory "/uploads" instead of "uploads/user_email" . # FTP ftp_upload_dir: /data/uploads ftp_upload_site: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" Instead the code should be (add a "/"): # FTP ftp_upload_dir: /data/uploads/ ftp_upload_site: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" Took me a while to work out why it was going into the wrong directory. Also - it should be stated that there may be a newer version of the playbook that could solve errors/conflicts with newer operating system versions than those used in the tutorial. Also suggest highlighting parts in the code examples which should be customized to your server environment if you are using this as a guide to setup your own installation (primarily directories where stuff is located). |

Jun 8, 2022 | The interactive tools perspective | The requirement for wildcard SSL certificate and the poor support for fulfilling this requirement. This is a major issue for the deployment of Galaxy servers. From a historical perspective, before 2019, there were IEs. Not super easy to deploy, but doable with motivation and investment in Docker knowledge. After launching the new ITs, IEs became progressively useless and ITs stay either nice demos or running on very few big public servers. Even the latter is not so clear: for instance, usegalaxy.org.au is not really providing ITs, usegalaxy.org (!) seems providing it at first glance, but the Rstudio interface - for instance - remains full blank forever. Only usegalaxy.eu to my knowledge provides effectively running and usable generalist ITs (Rstudio, Jupyter,). Thus, on that matter, where is the initial slogan "data intensive analysis for everyone" ? Of course, I am not blaming the trainers and contributors to this tutorial in any way ! But I really think that the technical strategy relying on wildcard SSL certificate to get the ITs running should be discussed with the community as a serious limitation to their use and thereby their active development. As it stands since 3 years now, ITs are out of the possibilities of a majority of Galaxy server instances because too complicated to install. |
