ideas for a new 24.x version

• get CVMFS in userspace working (https://github.com/galaxyproject/ansible-role-cvmfsexec, https://github.com/galaxyproject/usegalaxy-playbook/blob/6341fbc7d5d0649d00c66dcc10b45d7f16f113a7/env/common/host_vars/vm030.bridges2.psc.edu.yml#L157)
  • mount in Singularity containers
  • install tools without Conda by default

Check if Galaxy really uses job-handlers. I have seen this in the logs:

Dynamic handlers are configured in Gravity but Galaxy is not configured to assign jobs to handlers dynamically, so these handlers will not handle jobs. Set the job handler assignment method in the Galaxy job configuration to db-skip-locked or db-transaction-isolation to fix this.

Yes, job handlers work. You can find the logs in /home/galaxy/logs/ directory.

  • mount in Singularity containers
  • install tools without Conda by default

• install conda from conda-forge, miniforge

• investigate muti-stage builds for smaller containers

cvmfsexec does not support Ubuntu currently as stated here.

What a bummer, ok for now let's assume we run with --privileged

[bgruening]

mount in the singularity containers:

cvmfs2 /cvmfs/singularity.galaxyproject.org fuse ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other 0 0
