@Marvin: How can we dockerize the prefect flows and expose the dashboard URL to Host in Prefect 2.0?

To dockerize Prefect flows in Prefect 2.0, you could bake the flow code into a Docker image, as it's a recognized approach particularly when working with work pools that use Docker containers. You would create a Docker image that includes your flow code, and then push this image to a Docker registry. Here's a brief outline: 1. Write your flow code. 2. Create a Dockerfile that sets up the necessary environment for your flow to run. 3. Build the Docker image with your flow code inside. 4. Push the Docker image to a registry such as Docker Hub. For the dashboard URL, Prefect provides a server UI that can be spun up locally using the
prefect server start
command, which will be accessed via
<http://127.0.0.1:4200>
by default. If you wish to expose this dashboard on your host machine, you will need to ensure that the necessary ports are exposed and accessible. This might involve configuring port forwarding if running from within a Docker container or virtualized environment. You can find more details and step-by-step guidance in the Prefect documentation: - Docker-based storage - Hosting a Prefect server Please follow the provided links for in-depth instructions.

If you encounter any discrepancies, consulting the latest Prefect documentation is advised.)
