+📝 New blog post Released!

+
+We are excited to announce that researchers from The Netherlands and Norway are developing a GDPR-compliant Galaxy clone.
+This setup enables direct download of tools from the Toolshed, which are then converted and saved locally as Apptainer containers.
+
+While the instance is currently undergoing thorough testing, there are several promising developments that are newsworthy.
+
+This project is based on a collaboration between The CardiOmnics research group of the Circulatory Health Research Center and Regenerative Medicine Center Utrecht,
+UMC Utrecht, Utrecht University https://www.umcutrecht.nl/en/ (Mirela Minkova, Magdalena Harakalova), the University Centre for Information Technologies,
+University of Oslo https://www.usit.uio.no/ (Nikolay Vazov and Torfinn Nome) and Avans University of Applied Sciences in Breda https://www.avans.nl/ (MiaoMiao Zhou).
+
+To install the local Galaxy clone, a virtual machine managed by Digital Research Environment (DRE) is accessed through myDRE, a platform built on Microsoft Azure's infrastructure.
+The system includes 2-factor authentication, myDRE accounts, and audit trails, undergoing regular penetration testing for safety, and assuring compliance with GDPR.
+For more information about anDREa and myDRE please visit the following links: https://andrea-cloud.com/, https://mydre.org/
+
+In the myDRE environment, we selected a Linux Ubuntu 22.04 Virtual Machine machine with 64 cores and 256 GB RAM, and a basic model of 128 GB SSD.
+While the basic size model is sufficient for installation purposes, it is recommended to increase the machine size to at least 1 TB for running data and tool installations.
