this was also sent to our jbrowse2@berkeley.edu email. my response there :)
"The admin-server has some specific limitations that can be a little confusing
Specifically, it expects you to only input URLs to files (which are then written directly to the config.json file)
It does not have a notion of opening local files from your computer, which would need an "uploader" to put the files into the right folder
I would generally recommend using the command line ("CLI") to get your instance setup, using the "jbrowse add-assembly" command to add your assembly
You can run e.g.
samtools faidx yourfile.fa jbrowse add-assembly yourfile.fa --out /path/to/jbrowse/folder --load copy
And it will create a config.json in the /path/to/jbrowse/folder folder, and copy the yourfile.fa and yourfile.fa.fai file there
Then you can continue to add tracks as needed. The admin-server can be useful when you want to perform customizations to the "Settings"/config editor of the tracks, as these will be automatically saved to the disk, but for adding new tracks and assemblies it is a little trickier as you found here"
might close for now, email thread had a positive outcome :)
I got this error from JBrowse, here is the stack trace:
