Lab Exchange 🧫×🧬→💊
⚡ Run highly reproducible computational biology applications on top of a decentralised compute and storage network. ⚡
The Lab Exchange is a full web stack for distributed computational biology.
- 🌎 Build once, run anywhere: The Lab Exchange is using distributed compute and storage to run containers on a public network. Need GPUs? We got you covered.
- 🔍 Content-addressed by default: Every file processed by plex has a deterministic address based on its content. Keep track of your files and always share the right results with other scientists.
- 🪙 Records: authorship tracking built-in Every compute event on Lab Exchange is mintable as an on-chain token that grants the holder rights over the newly generated data.
- 🔗 Strictly composable: Every model in plex has declared inputs and outputs. Plugging together models by other authors should be easy.
Plex is built with Bacalhau and IPFS.
Running the App Locally
We have docker-compose
files available to bring up the stack locally.
Note:
- Only
amd64
architecture is currently supported.
Build and bring up stack (CPU)
docker compose up -d --wait
Build and bring up stack (GPU)
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose-gpu.yml up -d --wait --build
To run bacalhau
cmds against local environment simply set BACALHAU_API_HOST=127.0.0.1
in your terminal
