This issue can be resolved by using a UCSC mirror closer to the assembly hub (e.g. use genome-euro.ucsc.edu for assembly hubs located on servers in Europe, or genome-asia.ucsc.edu for those in Asia). Alternatively, you can improve performance by moving your hub data to a webspace provider closer to Santa Cruz or by using a content distribution network, where all content is mirrored and the closest location is chosen by your provider. 3. **Install locally with the Genome Browser installation script (GBIC)** We recommend this only if none of the above options fulfill your needs. Our [GBIC installation](https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenpath/help/gbic.html) script will install a full local mirror of the UCSC website, - for the assemblies you select. We support mirror site installations as time + for the assemblies you select. GBiC can also be used as a Docker container. See the + [Docker installation instructions](#docker-installation-instructions) below. + We support mirror site installations as time allows, and have many functional mirrors of the Genome Browser worldwide. For details, see the [section below](#installing-a-genome-browser-locally-with-the-gbic-installer). * Pros: * Relatively simple to install on a virtual machine or cloud instance: just run the script. * Best performance when rendering local BAM/bigWig/bigBed files. * For commercial users: easier click-through licensing compared to a full multi-seat, manual license. * Cons: * To keep up with changes in the Genome Browser, you will have to install linux packages and update the linux distribution yourself in the future and run the installation script with the 'update' command if you want to take advantage of new features in the Genome Browser. * Preferably run on a linux server that is not used otherwise. * By default requires opening at least three outgoing ports to UCSC for MariaDB and BLAT in your firewall.
