@Marvin I want to do self-hosting prefect server with docker. How can I do?

To self-host a Prefect server with Docker, you can follow these general steps: 1. Install Prefect: First, you have to install Prefect. You can do this through pip using the command

pip install prefect

. 2. Start the server: You can spin up a local Prefect server UI by running the following CLI command in the terminal:

prefect server start

This will initiate the Prefect server and its necessary components. 3. Access the Prefect server UI: Once the server is running, you can access the Prefect server UI at

<http://127.0.0.1:4200>

by default. Open this URL in a browser to access the UI. 4. Configure the Prefect server: If you are running Prefect within a container, such as a Docker container, you will need to set the API server address. This can be done with the following command:

prefect config set PREFECT_API_URL="<http://127.0.0.1:4200/api>"

Setting the

PREFECT_API_URL

is required when running Prefect inside a container to ensure the API calls are directed to the proper server instance. For more customized configurations and managing your Prefect server instance, you can consult the official Prefect documentation, which provides more information on profiles, configuration settings, and any additional steps you might need for deployment in a specific environment. Please note that this information is a general guide and might not include all the specifics needed for various custom deployments. It is always good to refer to the most up-to-date official documentation for thoroughly detailed setup instructions.
