12. Start Ensembl browser

Ensembl genome browser.

Edit setup.ini

Edit database settings:

  • for the default setup, only DB_SESSION_PASS should need changing

  • database hosts should match the name of your mysql container

  • DB_FALLBACK_HOST is used to allow additional databases to be loaded from a remote host (in this case EnsemblGenomes) so not all databases need to be hosted locally

$ nano ~/genomehubs/v1/ensembl/conf/setup.ini
[DATABASE]
  DB_HOST = genomehubs-mysql
  DB_PORT = 3306
  DB_USER = anonymous
  DB_PASS =

  DB_FALLBACK_HOST = mysql-eg-publicsql.ebi.ac.uk
  DB_FALLBACK_PORT = 4157
  DB_FALLBACK_USER = anonymous
  DB_FALLBACK_PASS =

  DB_SESSION_HOST = genomehubs-mysql
  DB_SESSION_PORT = 3306
  DB_SESSION_USER = ensrw
  DB_SESSION_PASS = CHANGEME

Add details of your Ensembl plugin:

  • update YOUR_PLUGIN_URL to point to the git repository you created in the previous step

  • these details should be added above the GENOMEHUBS_PLUGIN_URL so files in this plugin will overwrite those in the GenomeHubs plugin

$ nano ~/genomehubs/v1/ensembl/conf/setup.ini
[REPOSITORIES]
  ENSEMBL_URL = https://github.com/Ensembl
  ENSEMBL_BRANCH = release/93

  BIOPERL_URL = https://github.com/bioperl
  BIOPERL_BRANCH = master

  API_PLUGIN_URL = https://github.com/EnsemblGenomes/ensemblgenomes-api
  API_PLUGIN_BRANCH = release/eg/93
  API_PLUGIN_PACKAGE = EG::API

  YOUR_PLUGIN_URL = https://github.com/YOURACCOUNT/YOUR-PLUGIN-NAME
  YOUR_PLUGIN_BRANCH = master
  YOUR_PLUGIN_PACKAGE = EG::YourPlugin

  GENOMEHUBS_PLUGIN_URL = https://github.com/genomehubs/gh-ensembl-plugin
  GENOMEHUBS_PLUGIN_BRANCH = 18.10
  GENOMEHUBS_PLUGIN_PACKAGE = EG::GenomeHubs

  EG_COMMON_PLUGIN_URL = https://github.com/EnsemblGenomes/eg-web-common
  EG_COMMON_PLUGIN_BRANCH = release/eg/40
  EG_COMMON_PLUGIN_PACKAGE = EG::Common

  PUBLIC_PLUGINS = [ ]

Set database names to load:

  • Assemblies will be listed on your Ensembl site homepage in the order they are added to SPECIES_DBS

$ nano ~/genomehubs/v1/ensembl/conf/setup.ini
[DATA_SOURCE]
  SPECIES_DBS = [ 
    mellitaea_cinxia_core_40_93_1
    operophtera_brumata_obru1_core_40_93_1
]

Start the EasyMirror container

Start the EasyMirror Docker container:

$ docker run -d \
             --name genomehubs-ensembl \
             -v ~/genomehubs/v1/ensembl/conf:/conf:ro \
             --network genomehubs-network \
             -p 8881:8080 \
             genomehubs/easy-mirror:19.05
