Launch Pipeline on Seqera Platform

Launch Nextflow pipeline executions on cloud (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) and HPC clusters (Slurm, LSF, etc.) through Seqera Platform. Seqera Platform manages the target compute environment, executes the pipeline from a remote Git repository, and provides monitoring.

Requires Nextflow 26.04 or later (for the nextflow auth and nextflow launch commands).

Main Flow

1. Configure the compute environment — select a Seqera Platform compute environment for the target cloud or cluster.
2. Ensure the pipeline is in a remote Git repository — Seqera Platform launches pipelines from GitHub (or a compatible Git host such as GitLab or Bitbucket). If the local pipeline is not yet hosted, assist the user in setting up the repository.
3. Upload local changes — push any uncommitted local changes to the remote so the launched run reflects the user's current code.
4. Launch with nextflow launch — submit the pipeline by passing the Git repository URL and the expected parameters.

Step 1: Authenticate with Seqera Platform

Check whether the user is already authenticated:
