BOOSTER-WEB: Web interface to BOOSTER

This interface presents informations about BOOSTER program, and allows to run BOOSTER easily.

Installing BOOSTER-WEB

Already compiled

Download a release in the release section. You can directly run the executable for your platform.

From source

To compile BOOSTER-WEB, you must download and install Go (version >=1.9) on your system.

Then you just have to type :

go get github.com/evolbioinfo/booster-web/
go get -u github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep

This will download BOOSTER-WEB sources from github, and its dependencies.

You can then build BOOSTER-WEB with:

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/evolbioinfo/booster-web/
dep ensure
make

The booster-web executable should be located in the $GOPATH/bin folder.

From Docker

A docker image running a Galaxy server with all tools used by booster-web (PhyML-SMS, FastTree, Booster) and an already configured booster-web server is avalaible on docker hub.

• Download and run already configured booster-web + galaxy servers:

docker run --privileged=true \
            -p 8080:80 -p 8000:8888 \
            -p 8 -p 8121:21 -p 8122:22 \
            evolbioinfo/booster-web:v0.1.8

Then visit http://localhost:8000 .

Running BOOSTER-WEB

Default configuration

You can directly run the booster-web executable without any configuration. It will setup a web server with the following default properties:

• Run on localhost, port 8080
• Log to stderr
• In memory database (analyses will not persist after server shutdown)
• Local processor (booster jobs will run on the local machine)
• 1 parallel Runner: One job at a time
• Job Timeout: unlimited
• 1 thread per job

To access the web interface, just go to http://localhost:8080

Note that the local processor only allows to run booster from already inferred trees (no PhyML-SMS nor FastTree workflow).
To also run tree inference workflows, see “Other configurations”, or “Install from Docker”.

Other configurations

It is possible to configure booster-web to run with specific options. To do so, create a configuration file booster-web.toml with the following sections:

• general
  • maintenance = [true|false]
• database
  • type = “[memory|mysql]”
  • user = “[mysql user]”
  • port = [mysql port]
  • host = “[mysql host]”
  • pass = “[mysql pass]”
  • dbname = “[mysql dbname]”
• itol
  • key = “[iTOL api key]”
  • project = “[itol upload project]”
• runners
  • type=”[galaxy|local]”
  • queuesize=[size of job queue]
  • nbrunners=[number of parallel local runners]
  • jobthreads=[number of threads per local job]
  • timeout=[job timeout in seconds: 0=ulimited]
  • memlimit=[Max allowed Memory in Bytes]
  • keepold=[Number of days to keep results of old analyses]
• galaxy (Only used if runners.type=”galaxy”)
  • key=”[galaxy api key]”
  • url=”[url of the galaxy server: http(s)://ip:port]”
• galaxy.tools
  • booster=”[Id of booster tool on the galaxy server]”
  • phyml=”[Id of PHYML-SMS tool on the galaxy server]”
  • fasttree=”[Id of FastTree tool on the galaxy server]”
• notification (for notification when jobs are finished)
  • activated=[true|false]
  • smtp=”[smtp serveur for sending email]”
  • port=[smtp port]
  • user=”[smtp user]”
  • pass=”[smtp password]”
  • resultpage = “[url to result pages]”
  • sender=”[sender of the notification]”
• logging
  • logfile= “[stderr|stdout|/path/to/logfile]”
• http
  • port=[http server listening port]
• authentication
  • user=”[global username]”
  • password=”[global password]”

And run booster web: booster-web --config booster-web.toml
