@Marvin How to install prefect on a local server using a Docker Compose file?

Hosting Prefect on your local server using Docker Compose is achievable and primarily revolves around setting up the appropriate services. Here are general steps you can follow, combining information from the Prefect documentation and common Docker Compose practices. ### Step-by-Step Guide 1. Prepare your Docker Compose file: Create a

docker-compose.yml

file containing the Prefect server setup and other necessary services like PostgreSQL. 2. Docker Compose File Example: Here’s a basic example of a

docker-compose.yml

file to set up Prefect and PostgreSQL:

yaml
   version: '3.9'

   services:
     ### Prefect Database
     database:
       image: postgres:14.1-alpine
       restart: always
       environment:
         - POSTGRES_USER=postgres
         - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres
         - POSTGRES_DB=prefectDatabase
       ports:
         - "5432:5432"
       volumes:
         - db:/var/lib/postgresql/data

     ### Prefect Orion Server
     orion:
       image: prefecthq/prefect:2-python3.11
       restart: always
       volumes:
         - prefect:/root/.prefect
       entrypoint: ["prefect", "server", "start"]
       environment:
         - PREFECT_API_URL=<http://0.0.0.0:4200/api>
         - PREFECT_ORION_DATABASE_CONNECTION_URL=<postgresql+asyncpg://postgres:postgres@database:5432/prefectDatabase>
       ports:
         - "4200:4200"
   
   volumes:
     db:
     prefect:

3. Run the Docker Compose Setup: Make sure your Docker is running and execute the following command from the directory containing your

docker-compose.yml

file:

sh
   docker-compose up -d

4. Configure Prefect CLI: Set the appropriate API URL for your Prefect CLI to point to your local server instance:

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