nf-wave @ 1.20.0

Provider: nextflow-io
Claimed: 14 Sep 2025 20:02:54 (UTC)
Description: The nf-wave plugin integrates Nextflow with the Wave container service to dynamically build and provision containers on-demand from Conda packages or Dockerfiles. It solves the problem of managing container dependencies by automatically creating optimized containers without requiring pre-built images. Bioinformaticians and data scientists running Nextflow pipelines would use this plugin to simplify dependency management and enable containerized workflows across cloud platforms like AWS.

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'
}
