GitHub container registry credentials

GitHub Container Registry credentials allow the Wave container service to authenticate and pull container images from GitHub Packages. GitHub Packages only supports authentication using a personal access token (classic) for programmatic access.

note

Container registry credentials are only used by the Wave container service. Add wave { enabled=true } to the Nextflow config field on the launch page, or to your nextflow.config file, for your pipeline execution to use Wave containers.

Create a personal access token (PAT)​

You must create a PAT to access your GitHub container registry from Wave. For more information, see Create a personal access token.
