nf-wave @ 1.21.0

Provider: nextflow-io
Claimed: 14 Sep 2025 20:02:54 (UTC)
Description: The nf-wave plugin integrates Nextflow with the Wave container service to automatically build and provision containers on-demand from Conda packages or Dockerfiles. It solves the problem of managing container dependencies and compatibility across different execution environments by dynamically creating optimized containers. This plugin is useful for bioinformaticians and researchers running Nextflow pipelines who want to simplify dependency management and enable portable workflows across cloud and local compute resources.

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'
}
