Hi everybody, thanks for a great pipeline. I have a question, when I'm using the conda profile. Our Institute restricted the usage of the default channel when using conda. I therefore get the error message:

UnavailableInvalidChannel: HTTP 403 FORBIDDEN for channel pkgs/main <<https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main>>

The channel is not accessible or is invalid.

How can I restrict the conda create command to use only the conda-forge and bioconda channel in the nextflow pipeline with a local congif file? I tried to add a local config file

conda {

channels = ['conda-forge', 'bioconda']

strictChannels = true

}

but for some reason it still looks for the default channel

How can I restrict the conda create command to use only the conda-forge and bioconda channel in the nextflow pipeline with a local congif file?

I am not sure whether thats possible. But I am using singularity instead of conda. This doesnt really sound like a pipeline specific question, but more general, because it should be also applicable to other pipelines. Maybe you find more knowledgeable people in the broader #CE6SDBX2A channel?

thanks I'll post it there.
