🚦 Installation

1️⃣ Install the Snakemake Logger Plugin

pip install snakemake-logger-plugin-flowo

The PyPI package does not depend on Snakemake itself (it is expected in the environment where you run workflows). If you need Snakemake installed in the same environment—for example a minimal venv used only for the CLI—use:

pip install "snakemake-logger-plugin-flowo[snakemake]"

2️⃣ Install the Flowo web server (Single Image)

This method uses pre-built Docker images. For detailed instructions, please refer to the Quick Start guide.

Clone the repo and start the service:

git clone https://github.com/zhanghaomiao/flowo.git
cd flowo
cp env.example .env
# Edit .env:
# - set SECRET_KEY to a long random value and keep it stable
# - set FLOWO_WORKING_PATH to a host directory for FlowO data
docker compose up -d

Open http://localhost:3100 to create your account.

Generate a token in your profile settings to configure the logger plugin.

Copy and run the CLI config snippet from the dashboard to finish setup.

🚀 Usage
