Snakemake storage plugin: irods
A plugin for handling input and output on iRODS.
Installation

Usage
Queries
Queries to this storage should have the following format:
Query type |
Query |
Description |
---|---|---|
any |
|
A file in a folder on the iRODS server. |
As default provider
If you want all your input and output (which is not explicitly marked to come from another storage) to be written to and read from this storage, you can use it as a default provider via:
snakemake --default-storage-provider irods --default-storage-prefix ...
with ...
being the prefix of a query under which you want to store all your
results.
You can also pass custom settings via command line arguments:
snakemake --default-storage-provider irods --default-storage-prefix ... \
--storage-irods-max-requests-per-second ... \ --storage-irods-host ... \ --storage-irods-port ... \ --storage-irods-username ... \ --storage-irods-password ... \ --storage-irods-zone ... \ --storage-irods-home ... \ --storage-irods-authentication-scheme ...
Within the workflow
If you want to use this storage plugin only for specific items, you can register it inside of your workflow:
# register storage provider (not needed if no custom settings are to be defined here)
storage:
provider="irods",
# optionally add custom settings here if needed
# alternatively they can be passed via command line arguments
# starting with --storage-irods-..., see
# snakemake --help
# Maximum number of requests per second for this storage provider. If nothing is specified, the default implemented by the storage plugin is used.
max_requests_per_second=...,
# The host name of the iRODS server. Will also be read from ~/.irods/irods_environment.json if present.
host=...,
# The port of the iRODS server. Will also be read from ~/.irods/irods_environment.json if present.
port=...,
# The user name for the iRODS server. Will also be read from ~/.irods/irods_environment.json if present.
username=...,
# The password for the iRODS server. Will also be read from ~/.irods/irods_environment.json if present.
password=...,
# The zone for the iRODS server. Will also be read from ~/.irods/irods_environment.json if present.
zone=...,
# The home parameter for the iRODS server. Will also be read from ~/.irods/irods_environment.json if present.
home=...,
# The authentication scheme for the iRODS server. Will also be read from ~/.irods/irods_environment.json if present.
authentication_scheme=...,
rule example:
input:
storage.irods(
# define query to the storage backend here
...
),
output:
"example.txt"
shell:
"..."
Using multiple entities of the same storage plugin
In case you have to use this storage plugin multiple times, but with different settings (e.g. to connect to different storage servers), you can register it multiple times, each time providing a different tag:
# register shared settings
storage:
provider="irods",
# optionally add custom settings here if needed
# alternatively they can be passed via command line arguments
# starting with --storage-irods-..., see below
# Maximum number of requests per second for this storage provider. If nothing is specified, the default implemented by the storage plugin is used.
max_requests_per_second=...,
# The host name of the iRODS server. Will also be read from ~/.irods/irods_environment.json if present.
host=...,
# The port of the iRODS server. Will also be read from ~/.irods/irods_environment.json if present.
port=...,
# The user name for the iRODS server. Will also be read from ~/.irods/irods_environment.json if present.
username=...,
# The password for the iRODS server. Will also be read from ~/.irods/irods_environment.json if present.
password=...,
# The zone for the iRODS server. Will also be read from ~/.irods/irods_environment.json if present.
zone=...,
# The home parameter for the iRODS server. Will also be read from ~/.irods/irods_environment.json if present.
home=...,
# The authentication scheme for the iRODS server. Will also be read from ~/.irods/irods_environment.json if present.
authentication_scheme=...,
# register multiple tagged entities
storage foo:
provider="irods",
# optionally add custom settings here if needed
# alternatively they can be passed via command line arguments
# starting with --storage-irods-..., see below.
# To only pass a setting to this tagged entity, prefix the given value with
# the tag name, i.e. foo:max_requests_per_second=...
# Maximum number of requests per second for this storage provider. If nothing is specified, the default implemented by the storage plugin is used.
max_requests_per_second=...,
# The host name of the iRODS server. Will also be read from ~/.irods/irods_environment.json if present.
host=...,
# The port of the iRODS server. Will also be read from ~/.irods/irods_environment.json if present.
port=...,
# The user name for the iRODS server. Will also be read from ~/.irods/irods_environment.json if present.
