Hey team, potentially a simple answer here but I’m trying to get Prefect set up on EC2. I’m wanting flow code to be on Github and downloaded at flow runtime (essentially CI/CD). I’m wanting to run both the server and the agents in Docker containers. The repo has all flows in a subdirectory (

repo-sub-path

below) but the code is not in the container. I’m running this command from within the container, and am getting this message:

prefect deployment build flow_test.py:flow_test --name test --storage-block github/flow-repository --path repo-sub-path

. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to have the code sitting in the container locally to set up the deployment? Or can I have it pull from Github when first generating the deployment yaml? Is this actually possible or do I need to push my code to a docker image and manually pull that each time I update my flows? Appreciate any insight here.

Hi Liam, ideally prefect agent will run on the server and it will manage docker containers required to execute code from repository.
