What is galaxy-launcher?

galaxy-launcher is an ansible playbook directory containing all the roles to install the bgruening/docker-galaxy-stable image on a server running docker.

It also contains a installdocker role to install docker on a Ubuntu or CentOS server.

Why galaxy-launcher?

Using the docker-galaxy-stable image simplifies running a galaxy server. However the container must be set-up using the exact settings you want. Doing this from the command line is cumbersome, and using a script is not scalable.

galaxy-launcher uses the power of ansible to set up a galaxy instance using the docker-galaxy-stable image. It allows you to set all the necessary variables and start the galaxy instance with just two commands.

Features

Complete deployment of a galaxy instance with just two commands.
Configuration in easy to understand yaml files.
Use the example host files to quickly get started
Use the cluster example host to get the image running on your cluster
Install prerequisites including docker on a Ubuntu or CentOS server
Automatic provisioning
The galaxy docker container is restarted on reboot of the system
Running the deployment script as a non-privileged user (root required for prerequisites script)
