Starting Galaxy server is the first thing that needs to be done by users. Galaxy server should NOT be run on a Cedar login node or any compute node. We have a dedicated server called "gateway" and it is used for this purpose. It contains a web server with relevant Cedar filesystems, /project and /home directories mounted on it. Users cannot make a SSH connection to this machine due to security reasons, however we have designed a website on this machine that allows users to start/stop their own Galaxy server. The website also allows users to user Galaxy web interface to communicate with the server. To do this please go to the website https://gateway.cedar.computecanada.ca/ and click on the Galaxy link. You will be asked to enter your username and password. Your username and password are the same as those of your Alliance account. Once you authenticate you will be automatically redirected to your Galaxy server manager website where you can manage your server or use the Galaxy web interface.
