Hi Greg,
I believe that you do not need to actually copy the data to your
workstation (although you could ...) - instead, symbolically link it
from the external drive to your workstation so that it appears local.
Then upload from that path. The data library upload "by path" option
will follow
The absolute fastest method would be to enable filepath upload for data
libraries (in universe_wsgi.ini -- allow_library_path_paste = True). Once
that's set, you can paste the absolute file path into the upload box, and check
the box for not copying the data. This will leave the data where it
I have a local instance of Galaxy running on my workstation.
I have external hard drives full of fastq sequencing files.
I want to make them available to myself as data libraries. I am the Admin and
sole user at this point.
The "upload" data libraries seems to pass the data through the (slow) net
