The Genome Browser in the Cloud (GBiC) program is a convenient tool that automates the setup of a UCSC Genome Browser mirror. The GBiC program is for users who want to set up a full mirror of the UCSC Genome Browser on their server/cloud instance, rather than using -Genome Browser in a Box (GBIB) +our dockerfile or our public website. Please see the Installation of a UCSC Genome Browser on a local machine (mirror) page for a summary of installation options, including the pros and cons of using a mirror -installation via the GBiC program vs. using GBiB. GBiC can also be used as a Docker container. -See our Docker help page for more information. +installation via the GBiC program vs. using docker.
The program works by setting up MySQL (MariaDB), Apache, and Ghostscript, and then copying the
Genome Browser CGIs onto the machine under /usr/local/apache/
. Because it also deactivates the
default Apache htdocs/cgi folders, it is best run on a new machine, or at least a host that is not
already used as a web server. The tool can also download full or partial assembly databases,
update the Genome Browser CGIs, and remove temporary files (aka “trash cleaning”).
The GBiC program has been tested and confirmed to work with Ubuntu 18/20/22/24 LTS, Rocky 9.5, and Fedora 30/35/41.
