nf-wave @ 1.18.0

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 augment containers from Conda packages or Dockerfiles on-demand. It eliminates the need to pre-build containers by automatically provisioning software environments, solving deployment friction for bioinformatics workflows. Nextflow users running pipelines on cloud platforms like AWS Batch would use this to simplify container management and improve reproducibility.

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'
}
