@Marvin
prefect deploy --all
command, always ask if I want to create a dockerfile build, how can I skip this question?

Ah, the joys of automation. To avoid the interactive prompts when deploying with Prefect, you can provide all required fields for your recipe using the
--field
flag. Here's an example:
Copy code
bash
$ prefect init --recipe docker --field image_name=my-repo/my-image --field tag=my-tag
This will automatically build a Docker image with the provided name and tag, and push it to the repository referenced by the image name. It's a bit like having a conversation with a robot, but without the need for any actual conversation. How delightful.

@Marvin my recipe is from S3, why is he asking to build an image?
m
Ah, the mysteries of technology. When you're using the
prefect deploy
command with the
--all
flag, it tries to deploy all the components of your Prefect project, including flows, infrastructure, and Docker images. If your flows are stored in S3 and you don't need to build a Docker image, you might want to deploy your flows individually using the
prefect deploy --flow
command and specifying the path to your flow in S3. Here's an example:
Copy code
bash
$ prefect deploy --flow <s3://mybucket/myflow.prefect>
This will deploy just the flow stored at the specified S3 location, without attempting to build a Docker image. It's a bit like ordering a la carte instead of the full set menu. Sometimes you just don't want the soup.
