Question

Hi there I just started using prefect and have a question about scheduling flow for auto deployment Currently using prefect cloud and sending the flow to it from my IDE vscode But i noticed after i closed my IDE the scheduled flow which is suppose to run daily at 17 00 fails to run Looks like i need to have an active agent running in order for my flows to work Is there any other way i can let the flow run automatically without my local machine maintaining the IDE and the agent opened Thanks

you ll need to install an agent on a server that can run 24 7

Hi < redsquare> thank you for responding couple of follow up questions 1 This server agent is it the orion server that i see being mentioned on the site 2 Do i have to upload my python script to this server for it to host and run the flow or do i just point my existing ide terminal to this server and it will take care of the rest

You just need an worker agent not the orion server Orion name now depreciated <https discourse prefect io t how to run a prefect 2 worker as a systemd service on linux 1450>

hi < redsquare> sorry to bother again i did the steps as per your linked post but my agent still doesn t run flows automatically on the scheduled time Also it still shows that my pool is unhealthy vs healthy when i run `prefect agent start pool default agent pool` For some context i am running prefect on my ubuntu container hosted on proxmox not sure if this matters When i run `prefect agent start pool default agent pool` on the command line my follows will work and the pool will have a green healthy status But after completing the steps above linked i managed to get it running on my container but it doesn t run the scheduled flows and the pool is showing up and unhealthy red
