CloudLaunch is a reusable Django app for discovering and launching applications on cloud, container, or local infrastructure. A live version is available at https://beta.launch.usegalaxy.org/.
This is an all-new version of Cloudlaunch that replaces the original BioCloudCentral launcher. Code for that version is available in the BioCloudCentral branch.
CloudLaunch is based on Python 3.5 and although it may work on older Python versions, 3.5 is the only supported version. Use of virtualenv is also highly advised.
- Checkout cloudlaunch and create environment
$ mkdir launcher && cd launcher
$ virtualenv -p python3.5 venv --prompt "(cloudlaunch)" && source venv/bin/activate
