openBIS Research Data Management on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Azure
Applications
openBIS, the open source research data management platform from ETH Zurich for registering, tracking and sharing scientific samples, experiments and datasets through an electronic lab notebook and LIMS.
Overview
openBIS (open Biology Information System) is developed by Scientific IT Services at ETH Zurich as a platform for managing scientific research data across the whole experimental lifecycle. Researchers register and organise samples, experiments and the datasets they produce, annotate them with structured metadata, link related entities, and share them with collaborators under fine grained access control, so results stay findable, traceable and reproducible. The appliance runs the full standalone openBIS stack: the Application Server that serves the web interface and a rich programmatic API, the Data Store Server that manages the underlying dataset store, and a PostgreSQL database, with the ELN LIMS electronic lab notebook and laboratory information management interface enabled out of the box. A scientist can log in, capture an experiment, attach data and browse the object graph from first boot, and integrate instruments and pipelines through the API.
Why the cloudimg image
The cloudimg image is hardened and fully patched, with openBIS installed non interactively from the official ETH Zurich console installer onto a dedicated data volume that holds both the install tree and the dataset store. The Application Server and Data Store Server run as unprivileged services that survive reboot behind an nginx reverse proxy, PostgreSQL is bound to localhost only, the firewall defaults to deny, and there is no shared default password: a strong administrator credential is generated uniquely on each VM at first boot and surfaced to the owner, paired with a step by step deploy guide and 24/7 support.
Common uses
- Run an electronic lab notebook and LIMS for a research group or core facility
- Register, track and share samples, experiments and datasets with structured metadata
- Integrate instruments and analysis pipelines through the openBIS programmatic API
