In this document we explain the GeneNetwork reproducible deployment system which is based on GNU Guix The Guix system can be used to install GN with all its files and dependencies. + +Note that the official deployment works through a Guix VM. This is described in + +=> ./deployment + +# Check list + +To run GeneNetwork the following services need to function: + +* [ ] GNU Guix with a guix profile for genenetwork2 +* [ ] A path to the (static) genotype files +* [?] Gn-proxy for authentication +* [ ] The genenetwork3 service +* [ ] Redis +* [ ] Mariadb + +# Installing Guix packages + +Make sure to install GNU Guix using the binary download instructions on the main website. Follow the instructions on Note the download amounts to several GBs of data. Debian-derived distros may support + +``` +apt-get install guix +``` + +# Creating a GNU Guix profile + +We run a GNU Guix channel with packages at + +=> https://gitlab.com/genenetwork/guix-bioinformatics + +The README has instructions hosting a channel (recommended!), but sometimes we use the GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH instead. First upgrade to a recent guix with + +``` +mkdir ~/opt +guix pull -p ~/opt/guix-pull +``` + +It should upgrade (ignore the locales warnings). You can optionally specify the specific git checkout of guix with + +``` +guix pull -p ~/opt/guix-pull --commit=f04883d +``` + +which is useful when you need to roll back to an earlier version (sometimes our channel goes out of sync). Next, we install GeneNetwork2 with + +``` +source ~/opt/guix-pull/etc/profile +git clone https://git.genenetwork.org/guix-bioinformatics/guix-bioinformatics.git ~/guix-bioinformatics +``` + +you probably also need guix-past (the upstream channel for older packages): + +``` +git clone https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/guix-past.git ~/guix-past +cd ~/guix-past +env GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=$HOME/guix-bioinformatics:$HOME/guix-past/modules ~/opt/guix-pull/bin/guix package -i genenetwork2 -p ~/opt/genenetwork2 +``` + +Ignore the warnings. Guix should install the software without trying to build everything. If you system insists on building all packages, try the `--dry-run` switch and fix the [[https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Substitute-Server-Authorization.html][substitutes]]. You may add the `--substitute-urls="http://guix.genenetwork.org https://ci.guix.gnu.org https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org"` switch. + +The guix.genenetwork.org has most of our packages pre-built(!).

Location and files are examples. + +It may be useful to tunnel the web server to your local browser with an ssh tunnel: + +## Testing on an ssh tunnnel + +If you want to test a service running on the server on a certain port (say 8202) use + + ssh -L 8202:127.0.0.1:8202 -f -N myname@penguin2.genenetwork.org + +And browse on your local machine to http://localhost:8202/ + +# BELOW INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE UPDATED + +* Run gn-proxy + +GeneNetwork requires a separate gn-proxy server which handles +authorisation and access control.
