@Marvin How do I deploy flow to open source prefect server running on remote host using local cli ?
m
To deploy a flow to an open-source Prefect server running on a remote host using the local CLI, follow these steps: ### 1. Write Your Flow Create your Prefect flow as usual in a Python script, for example, `flow.py`:
Copy code
python
from prefect import flow

@flow
def my_flow():
    print("Hello, Prefect!")
### 2. Set Up Deployment Configuration Initialize a deployment configuration by running the following command, which will create a
prefect.yaml
file:
Copy code
sh
prefect deployment build ./flow.py:my_flow -n my-deployment -o ./my_flow-deployment.yaml
This command specifies the flow file, the flow function, and output configuration file. ### 3. Adjust
prefect.yaml
Ensure that the
prefect.yaml
file has the correct settings, including your deployment name, work pool, and image (if needed). For example:
Copy code
yaml
version: 2
name: my-deployment
description: Deployment of my_flow
work_pool:
  name: default-agent-pool
  job_variables: {}
### 4. Apply the Deployment Configuration Apply the deployment configuration to the remote Prefect server:
Copy code
sh
prefect deployment apply ./my_flow-deployment.yaml
### 5. Set Up the Worker on the Remote Host Start a Prefect worker on the remote host to poll for the deployment:
Copy code
sh
prefect server start
prefect worker start -p default-agent-pool
### References: - Prefect Deploy Documentation - Prefect CLI Integration This should get your flow deployed and running on a remote Prefect server using the local CLI. If further issues arise, such as dependencies or environment configurations, refer to the Prefect documentation and related GitHub issues for troubleshooting.
