 Welcome to the 2021 GCC Galaxy Admin Training. This video covers some specifics that are very specific to admin training and not to the rest of the tracks. Importantly for you, there is this website, gxy.io slash gat, it's linked in the Slack header, where you can find all of the information about the course, all of the extras about the course that you might need to know. Information like the timetable where to find that, the important links for the event. But importantly for you, it's the link gxy.io slash gat machines. This is also linked in Slack, in case you need to find it again. Okay, this spreadsheet has everything that you need to connect to a virtual machine. It has your username, a host name and a password. And more importantly, it also has who the virtual machine has been assigned to. So when you get access to this spreadsheet, you should go look for your name, find out which virtual machine will be yours, and then get ready to connect. So if you are on Mac or Linux, then you probably have an SSH client built-in, you can just SSH. So I'm going to copy the host name, the username is Ubuntu, you can do Ubuntu add that host name, and then you'll need the password as well. And the first time you connect, you'll get this message saying, oh, the fingerprint, I can't trust this, or I don't know if I should trust this. And you could go ahead and ignore that and just click yes. We trust all of these virtual machines. And then you'll take the password, copy it and paste it in. And this will get you access to the virtual machine. So if you're on Linux or OSX, this is a very good solution. If you're on Windows, it's a little bit more difficult, right? You need to install Putty. So this year we've done something new. We've set up a service on port 8080 of every machine. You'll get this warning about it being insecure. You can go ahead and proceed. And this service will let you have access to some management features of the virtual machine. And you'll be a blog in with the same credentials you use as the command line. And over here down at the bottom is this terminal. And if you go there, you'll have access to everything you need to do. And with that, I think you'll be ready to connect to all the virtual machines this week. I'm Catherine from Galaxy Australia, telling you a little about Beobu. The virtual machines we'll be using this week are configured with Beobu, which is an open source window manager and terminal multiplexer. This improves terminal sessions when users connect to remote servers. And this setup will make it easier for helpers to assist since even admin trainer logs into the same machine. They will see exactly what you see. There are some things that are a little different from using a regular terminal, such as scrolling. So if I open a long text file, I can scroll through this file by pressing the F7 key to go into scroll mode. And you see the little line counter appear in the corner. And then I can scroll through the file using arrow keys or by using alt arrow key or function alt arrow key on a Mac to go through one page at a time. And then I can exit scroll mode by pressing the enter key. And this is all written down. We have a Beobu help page that describes the scrolling and also some more Beobu key bindings. And there is a difference between what works on a Mac keyboard and a PC keyboard. Use the Slack channel and ask helpers for any help with this. Thank you. Hello, and welcome to Galaxy Admin Training. My name's Selena Rasche. I work in the Netherlands as a teacher in higher education at a Vance Hope School in Bereta. And I'm working on my PhD at Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam. My background is as a system administrator and officially as a bioinformatician. I used to do genomics research with viral genomes and then I moved into system administration for Galaxy. I used to be the usegalaxy.eu administrator. This is going to be hopefully an exciting week. I'm one of the organizers of this course and I hope everything goes smoothly for everyone. Hi, folks. I'm Martin Czech from Czechia. I've been working on Galaxy for about seven years now, previously developing the core code base with the team at Penn State and currently guiding Galaxy efforts at the Electric Republic. I hope you enjoy our training and I wish you good luck. I am Sergei, Sergei Golditsynski. I'm a software engineer at Johns Hopkins University. I am one of the core developers on the Galaxy team and I'm going to be one of your helpers this week. Hi, everybody. My name's Simon Glabin and I'm from the University of Melbourne in Australia and I'm one of the administrators on Galaxy Australia and I have been working with Galaxy since about 2012 and I will be also helping you this week. Welcome to Galaxy admin training. My name's Catherine and I work as a software developer at the University of Melbourne. I'm one of the administrators of Galaxy Australia. Hi, everyone. My name is Saskia Hilteman. I work at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. I work a lot with Galaxy, mainly developing tools and pipelines and a lot of training as well but I also run a small Galaxy server for our researchers and clinicians to analyze their data and this is often data that cannot leave our institute so they can't use one of the public Galaxy servers. And this week I will be helping out with the admin training. Hello, I'm Anthony Brottodou from Reign France. I'm working for INRAE, the French Agronomy Institute. I'm the assistant admin of galaxy.genoes.org and use galaxy.fr. I contribute to Galaxy and to GTN or IUC and I'm also part of the Galaxy Genome Nutrition Project. Hello, my name is Aaron Petkao and I work with the National Microbiology Lab, part of the public health agency of Canada here in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and I'm also a graduate student at the University of Manitoba here in Winnipeg and my background is in bioinformatics and computer science. Hi, my name is Derek Benson. I work for the Australian Science Agency, the CSIRO. I work life as being mostly about systems administration of computer systems. In the recent past, I spent about seven years working with the genomics virtual lab team and the Australian Galaxy team here in Australia but in the last 18 months I've been working for the CSIRO we're on the Galaxy Systems Administrator and they're pretty much all things Galaxy person. Hi, everybody. I'm Esther Nancelet. I work at INRAI, which is the French National Research Institute on Agriculture, Food and Environment. I'm the administrator of a small Galaxy instance which serves models on aqua ecosystems, which is a bit out of the initial scope of Galaxy. I'll be happy to help you if I can. So, see you and enjoy the training. Hi, everyone. So, I'm Géder Corquille. I'm from the Station Belgique de Roscoeuf in France. I'm administrator of the French National HPC Infrastructure on usegalaxy.fr and I might help you about Galaxy itself, about cyber security, maybe APA and about cluster stuff. Hello, Galaxians. I'm Kiran Telukunta and I'm part of KMS Foundation and also Biotrous Organization. Both the organizations are trying to spread the awareness of Galaxy in India and also trying to bring up the usegalaxy cluster in India. I finished my PhD in pharmaceutical bio analytics and I'll be great to help you all in coming week in the Galaxy adventuring. Thank you. Hi, I'm Pietro, PhD student at the University of Milan in Molecular Cellular Biology and one of the developers of La Gnachia, a software solution to provide the Galaxy on-demand instances over cloud infrastructure. I'll be help you from Milan, Italy. Hi, everyone. I'm John Adler. I'm from Freiburg and I work at the University of Freiburg and I'm the current administrator of the usegalaxy view and this week I will help you during the training that we've trained.
