nf-core

Hi all,
we’re running the nf-core/airrflow pipeline on a secure offline system.

We installed the pipeline in offline mode and made sure all container images are available locally. However, the pipeline still attempts to download external resources, for example:
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nf-core/test-datasets/airrflow/database-cache/igblast_base.zip>

Since outbound network access is blocked, this obviously fails.

My question:
Where should these files be placed locally so that the pipeline can pick them up instead of trying to download them? Is there a recommended cache or directory structure for this?
Thanks a lot for any guidance!

If anybody else wonders:
```git clone <https://github.com/nf-core/test-datasets.git> --single-branch --branch airrflow```
From there copy the database-cache folder to the server and provide the files as
```--reference_igblast &lt;/path/to/igblast_base.zip&gt;
--reference_fasta &lt;/path/to/imgtdb_base.zip&gt;```

PS: would be nice to find that in the help.

Hi, Stefan. Yes, the paths to the reference databases stored locally should be set by parameters `--reference_igblast`  and `--reference_fasta` in the command.
