Deploy Platform

Deploy Seqera Platform Enterprise in your organization's own infrastructure, then access it through the UI, the API, the CLI, or Nextflow.

Seqera Platform Enterprise is installed in an organization's own cloud or on-premises infrastructure. It includes:

  • Monitoring, logging, and observability
  • Pipeline execution Launchpad
  • Cloud resource provisioning
  • Pipeline actions and event-based execution
  • LDAP and OpenID authentication
  • Enterprise role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Full-featured API
  • Dedicated support for Nextflow and Seqera Platform

To install Platform in your organization's infrastructure, contact us for a demo to discuss your requirements.

Access Platform

You can access your Seqera instance through the UI, the API, the CLI, or in Nextflow directly using the -with-tower option.

Web-based UI

To get started in the Platform UI:

  1. Sign in to your Seqera Platform instance at the URL provided by your administrator.

    note

    Login sessions remain active while the browser window is open and active. After you close the browser window, Platform signs you out within 6 hours by default.

  2. Create and configure a new compute environment.

  3. Start launching pipelines.

Seqera API

See API.

Seqera CLI

See CLI.

Nextflow -with-tower

If you run Nextflow directly in an existing environment, add the -with-tower option to your run command to use Platform capabilities:

  1. Sign in to your Seqera Platform instance.

  2. In your personal workspace, go to the user menu and select Settings > Your tokens.

  3. Select Add token.

  4. Enter a unique name for your token, then select Add.

  5. Copy and store your token securely.

    caution

    Platform displays the access token only once. Save the token value before you close the Personal Access Token window.

  6. Open a terminal window and create environment variables to store the Seqera access token and Nextflow version. Replace <ACCESS_TOKEN> with your new token.

    export TOWER_ACCESS_TOKEN=<ACCESS_TOKEN>
    export NXF_VER=26.04.6
    note

    Bearer token support requires Nextflow version 20.10.0 or later. Set the version with the NXF_VER environment variable.

  7. To submit a pipeline to a workspace using Nextflow, add the workspace ID to your environment:

    export TOWER_WORKSPACE_ID=000000000000000

    To find your workspace ID, select your organization in Seqera and navigate to the Workspaces tab.

  8. Run your Nextflow pipeline with the -with-tower flag:

    nextflow run main.nf -with-tower

    Replace main.nf with the filename of your Nextflow script.

You can now monitor your workflow runs in the Seqera interface. To configure and execute Nextflow pipelines in cloud environments, see compute environments.

tip

See the Nextflow documentation for further run configuration options using Nextflow configuration files.
