I'm trying to implement a new flow to run with container. But I'm getting this error when deploying. How do I resolve this?

```Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
  Remote Storage block must have 'get-directory' capabilities. (type=value_error)```

Hi! My instinct is that the Docker block is an infrastructure block, not a storage block. You'd need an S3 block, Azure block, GitHub block, or use local storage - just to name a few.

The Docker block is just HOW you want to run your flow, but not where the flow code is stored.

Let me grab a screenshot of what I was doing...

`az_block = Azure.load("azure-blob-block")`
`docker_container_block = DockerContainer.load("docker-block")`

`deployment = Deployment.build_from_flow(`
    `flow=flow.with_options(name="EmilIsTheBest"),`
    `name=config["name"],`
    `description=config["description"],`
    `tags=config["tags"],`
    `work_queue_name=environment,`
    `output=True,`
    `apply=True,`
    `storage=az_block,`
    `infrastructure=docker_container_block,`
    `path=config["name"]`
`)`

I didn't quite understand how that would work. But with your example I managed to have a better understanding and direction of what I need to do. Thank you very much!

You're welcome. Ping me if you run into anything else.

Also, I think build_from_flow has a parameter called "apply=True" - so you don't need the extra step :slightly_smiling_face:

I'm still having a little trouble running a flow in the container.

When creating and executing the flow, it manages to start from the container, but it does not find the file path

what happens if you remove the storage parameter all together

Also, are you running local server or cloud?

opt is the container directory. I'm not sure which container directory Prefect references the code in.

I'm running the server locally.

So, are you using the stock prefecthq image?
