IGFPortal is a web-based data management and analysis tool created by the NIHR Imperial BRC Genomics Facility. It facilitates tracking and managing genomic sequencing projects, integrating data pipelines, and visualizing results, particularly in genomics research.
- Project Management: Track sequencing projects, sequencing runs, samplesheets and analysis metadata, improving organization and facilitate validation.
- Pipeline Integration: Automates genomic data processing, enabling seamless integration with bioinformatics workflows. Provides easy to use interface for triggering data pipelines.
- Result Visualization: Offers an intuitive interface with graphical views for data analysis results and project status. Utilises Redis caching to minimise loading analysis reports.
- Docker: For containerized deployments
1. Clone the Repository
git clone https://github.com/imperial-genomics-facility/IGFPortal.git
cd IGFPortal
2. Create an environment file
Create a new file env
and add the following lines:
PYTHONPATH=/container_path/IGFPortal
FLASK_APP=/container_path/IGFPortal/app/__init__.py
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI=mysql+pymysql://DBUSER:DBPASS@DB/MYSQL_DATABASE
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
MYSQL_DATABASE=MYSQL_DATABASE
MYSQL_USER=DBUSER
MYSQL_PASSWORD=DBPASS
BASIC_AUTH=FlowerUser:FlowerUserPass
CELERY_BROKER_URL=redis://redis_db/0
CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND=redis://redis_db/1
CACHE_REDIS_URL=redis://redis_db/2
CELERY_WORK_DIR=/TMP_WORK_DIR_FOR_CELERY_WORKER
AIRFLOW_CONF_FILE=/container_path/secret/airflow_conf.json
3. Create Nginx config file
Copy the nginx_template.conf
to nginx.conf
and replace server_name
value.
server {
# Redirect http to https
listen 80 default_server;
server_name SERVER_ADDRESS;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
4. Build docker image
docker build -t imperialgenomicsfacility/igfportal:v0.0.2.1 .
5. Update docker compose file
Update docker-compose.yaml
file and add correct path for following:
- Path of the local copy of IGFPortal repo (default is /home/vmuser/github/IGFPortal)
- Path for SSL certs (default is /home/vmuser/github/ssl)
- Path for static directory (default is ./static)
- Path for Apache Airflow connection conf (default /home/vmuser/secrets/airflow_conf.json)
6. Start the server using docker compose
PORTAL_UID="$(id -u)" GID="$(id -g)" docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml -p igfportal up -d
7. Access the Portal
Open your browser at https://SERVER_ADDRESS
to access the IGFPortal dashboard.
