Galaxy Interactive Environments (GIEs)

These are revolutionary components of Galaxy allowing users to do interactive data processing from within Galaxy. IEs are built as standard Galaxy visualization plugins, however they launch Docker containers and use some additional routing information to connect end users through the Galaxy server, to the Docker images.

There are currently nine IEs built into Galaxy, including:

• IPython
• RStudio

Set up IEs on your server

See the comprehensive admin documentation to learn how to set up IEs on your own Galaxy.
