[ensembl-dev] Ensembl VM possible to use for house Ensembl installation?

[Liu, Mingyi]

Hi, can anyone confirm my question below? Are the Ensembl VMs only for Ensembl API + Ensembl’s own MySQL access, or the VM has everything needed for in-house Ensembl installation (one just need to change some parameters to point to in-house MySQL etc)? If the latter that’d be fantastic, but so far it doesn’t look like the case.

Thanks!

Hi,

I downloaded Ensembl VMs in the hope that this is an easy way to set up Ensembl in-house (once MySQL data are all downloaded/imported). However it seems that the VM doesn’t have webserver and is only meant to be used for running scripts that utilize Ensembl API?  Is that correct? I’m a bit confused as I thought one doesn’t need a VM to run scripts using Ensembl API, just need to download Ensembl/Bioperl and install dependency. So the VM is mostly for saving efforts installing dependency?

Thanks!
