text: user180: I would like to use PHASTER (http://phaster.ca) from the University of Alberta, but it's currently down for maintenance, as is its predecessor, PHAST.
  What alternatives to PHASTER are there for searching and annotating phage sequences within assembled genomes?
  EDIT:
  I have seen that PROKKA has some entries mentioning the possibility of using PHASER (currently discarded as an option) but also people using their own HMMs to annotate phage sequences using PROKKA, e.g.:
  https://github.com/tseemann/prokka/issues/375
  Any ideas?
  
  user3381: The answer is to use phastaf, a recently developed software tool developed by Torsten Seemann (the same developer as prokka), which comes with a packaged phaster.ca db.  Get it here
