Authors: orcid logoAvatarHelena Rasche Add Contributions!

Customising the welcome.html page is very easy!

  1. Create a custom welcome.html in templates/galaxy/config/ with whatever content you want, e.g.

    <html>
  <body>
    <h1>Welcome to Galaxy</h1>
    <iframe src="https://galaxyproject.org/#" width="100%" height="500px" />
  </body>
</html>

  2. Add it to your deployed configuration

 - src: templates/galaxy/config/reports.yml
   dest: "{{ galaxy_reports_path }}"
+- src: templates/galaxy/config/welcome.html
+  dest: "{{ galaxy_config_dir }}"

  3. Update the templates/nginx/galaxy.j2 to point to the new location
