Infrastructure

Galaxy Infrastructure

aka, what does what?

Resources are generally divided in to two domains, usegalaxy.org resources for stuff related to running Test/Main, and galaxyproject.org resources for all the other services.

Note: there is a separate playbook, infrastructure-playbook that is responsible for managing most of the non-Galaxy infrastructure, and even some of the low level stuff on Galaxy VMs and nodes. In specific, checking the inventory files of the various Ansible "environments" should give you some insight on what does what, if it's not covered in this document.

usegalaxy.org resources

The following hosts run services for usegalaxy.org and test.galaxyproject.org.

TACC Hosts

These hosts live under the .tacc.utexas.edu domain (but most have aliases under one or more of our domains). Unless needed for the task you are performing, you should use your own TACC account. See Getting Set Up At TACC.

The admin login (for those with access) for all hosts in this section is root.

host	login	purpose	aliases
galaxy04	g2main (update main)	CVMFS release manager (stratum 0) server for the main.galaxyproject.org CVMFS repo	cvmfs0-tacc0.galaxyproject.org main-installer.galaxyproject.org
galaxy07	g2test gxsrc	Galaxy Test web, jobs, and database server, data manager server	test.galaxyproject.org test-datamanager.galaxyproject.org
galaxy08		RabbitMQ and Slurm controller
galaxy-web-03 galaxy-web-04	g2main gxsrc	Galaxy Main job handlers, also handle Pulsar staging for XSEDE resources with uWSGI and the nginx upload module	galaxy-web-03.galaxyproject.org galaxy-web-04.galaxyproject.org
galaxy-web-05 galaxy-web-06	g2main gxsrc	Galaxy Main web and FTP servers	usegalaxy.org (DNS round robin to both VMs) galaxy-web-05.galaxyproject.org galaxy-web-06.galaxyproject.org
galaxy-db-02	g2main	Galaxy Main database server
roundup49-roundup64	g2test g2main	Galaxy cluster nodes

• The per-host Galaxy Main aliases can be useful for testing the state of each VM independently
• With the exception of roundup* (which are bare metal nodes), the VMs run on TACC's VMWare cluster
• VMs are configured with varying amounts of memory/CPU by purpose

CVMFS Hosts

These hosts live under the .galaxyproject.org domain. CVMFS contents are also reachable via http://datacache.galaxyproject.org/.

galaxyproject.org resources

These hosts live under the .galaxyproject.org domain.

Virtualization hosts

All virtualization hosts run SmartOS unless otherwise noted.

Service Hosts

Our standalone AWS account (infrastructure@...) is being phased out in favor of the Penn State Cloud Program due to contract advantages and simplified billing. At this time, you must have a Penn State Access Account (i.e. you must be a PSU employee) to gain access to the AWS Dashboard for these services.
