nf-wave @ 1.21.1

Provider: nextflow-io
Claimed: 14 Sep 2025 20:02:54 (UTC)
Description: The nf-Wave plugin integrates Nextflow with the Wave container service to automatically build and provision containers on-demand from Conda packages or Dockerfiles, eliminating the need to pre-build and maintain container images. It solves the problem of container management complexity by dynamically creating optimized containers with only required dependencies. Bioinformaticians and data scientists using Nextflow pipelines would benefit from this plugin to simplify workflow reproducibility and reduce container management overhead.

Summary

The Wave containers plugin provides integration with the Wave container service for dynamic container building, augmentation, and on-demand software provisioning.

Get Started

To use this plugin, add it to your nextflow.config:

plugins {
    id 'nf-wave'
}

Enable Wave in your configuration:

wave {
    enabled = true
}

Wave automatically builds containers from Conda packages or Dockerfiles defined in your processes.

Examples

Basic Wave configuration

plugins {
    id 'nf-wave'
}

wave {
    enabled = true
}

process {
    conda = 'samtools=1.17'
}

Using Wave with Conda packages

wave {
    enabled = true
}

process ALIGN {
    conda 'bioconda::bwa=0.7.17 bioconda::samtools=1.17'

    script:
    '''
    bwa mem ref.fa reads.fq | samtools view -bS - > aligned.bam
    '''
}

Wave with Fusion file system

wave {
    enabled = true
}

fusion {
    enabled = true
}

process.executor = 'awsbatch'
workDir = 's3://my-bucket/work'

Container augmentation

wave {
    enabled = true
    strategy = 'conda,container'
}

process TOOL {
    container 'ubuntu:22.04'
    conda 'bioconda::samtools=1.17'

    script:
    '''
    samtools --version
    '''
}

Using private registries

wave {
    enabled = true
}

docker {
    registry = 'quay.io'
}
