Install Apollo on VPS & Cloud Server, Apollo Hosting

Apollo is an open-source, collaborative genome annotation editor developed by the Generic Model Organism Database (GMOD) project. It provides a web-based environment for viewing and editing genome annotations.

Yes. Apollo can be deployed on a VPS, including through Docker-based deployment. For production use, Apollo's documentation recommends following its distributed deployment documentation rather than treating the quick-start setup as a production deployment.

You need to provision a suitable Linux cloud server, prepare the required dependencies and database, and deploy the Apollo services using the official deployment method. The exact steps depend on the Apollo version and deployment architecture you select.

Apollo is an open-source project. The software is available under the project's open-source license, while running a self-hosted installation requires server infrastructure such as a VPS or cloud server.

Yes. Apollo provides Docker deployment options for its services. Its distributed deployment documentation includes Docker-based deployment instructions.

Apollo supports commonly used genome annotation formats including GFF3 and FASTA, allowing researchers to work with existing genome sequences and annotation data.

Yes. Collaborative editing is one of Apollo's core capabilities. Multiple curators can work with genome annotations while changes are synchronized between users.

Yes. Apollo records annotation changes with author and timestamp information, providing a history that can be used when reviewing the curation process.

Yes. Apollo supports organism-specific permissions and role-based access, allowing administrators to configure access for users and groups.

Yes. Apollo provides REST API and command-line access that can be used to integrate the platform with automated workflows and research pipelines.

There is no single VPS size that fits every Apollo deployment. Resource requirements depend on the size of your genome data, number of concurrent users, database workload, and other services running on the server. Start with a suitable configuration and scale resources as the project grows.

Yes. Apollo is specifically designed around collaborative genome annotation and is useful for research groups that need shared access to genome data, annotation tools, permissions, and curation history.

Yes. Running Apollo on your own VPS gives you control over the server where the application is deployed and lets you manage access to the environment according to your organization's requirements.

Yes. Apollo uses JBrowse technology to provide genome browsing, track navigation, searching, and sequence visualization within the annotation environment.

Yes. You can point a domain or subdomain to your VPS and configure HTTPS so researchers can securely access the Apollo interface using your preferred URL.

Yes. Every VyomCloud VPS plan includes DDoS protection and a managed firewall. You also get full root access to configure additional firewall rules and security measures on the server itself.
