Prefect Community

Anyone have any examples of running a DockerContainer deployment in Prefect 2.0 GA? Non of the documentation is correct that is referenced in the migration guide and even the tutorial I found with the correct code had the wrong CLI commands, and the new commands that would appear to be equivalent ignores the Deployment() function in the script.

Hi Seth, we no longer have the `Deployment()` function and replace it with a deployment manifest and `deployment.yaml` instead. You can find the updated docs about deployment <https://orion-docs.prefect.io/tutorials/deployments/#build-a-deployment|here>.

Basically, you can run:
```prefect deployment build &lt;path-to-your-flow&gt;:&lt;your-flow&gt; -n &lt;deployment-name&gt; -t &lt;tag&gt; -i DockerContainer```
to run your flows in a Docker container.

We will update the docs for this as soon as possible

Thanks for the quick assistance, that does help.

Does this also mean that you no longer support the register + build formula? Just trying to figure out how big of a lift this is going to be for us coming from 1.2 where everything we do is in custom docker images that include our custom packages.

Currently, we do this for storage, but I don't see the equivalent in 2.0. Is this something we are going to need to wait on for a solution?
```Flow('attach files', storage=Docker(registry_url="<http://myrepo.azurecr.io/prefect/runsheets|myrepo.azurecr.io/prefect/runsheets>", dockerfile="./.devcontainer/Dockerfile")) as flow:```


This looks promising... <https://orion-docs.prefect.io/api-ref/prefect/packaging/#prefect.packaging.docker.DockerPackager>

I have a similar question to Seth here. I did notice the packaging class information was removed from the Concepts page recently, is this functionality going to be deprecated or is this still the intended way to build and point to docker images in deplpoyments ala DockerStorage in Prefect 1.0?

Using packaging is depreciated. The alternative to packaging is specifying <https://orion-docs.prefect.io/concepts/infrastructure/|infrastructure> in the `prefect deployment build` command.

The specific command is:
```prefect deployment build &lt;path-to-file&gt;:&lt;flow-name&gt; -n &lt;deployment-name&gt; -i docker-container```

Hi <@U03GUVCV8DS> — sorry to bug you about this again — but I am looking over the documentation and am a little confused; if we were to use this docker-container infrastructure flag, does this actually generate an image and place it somewhere and if so, would that the image built would also only be operable from a Docker flowrunner?

In our case, we are looking for replacement functionality similar to <https://docs-v1.prefect.io/orchestration/recipes/configuring_storage.html|DockerStorage> from 1.0 that allows us to use that image in any runner class i.e. KubernetesRun or `KubernetesJob` in the 2.0 world. To do this, would we instead need to follow the <https://orion-docs.prefect.io/concepts/infrastructure/#building-your-own-image|Building your Own Image> strategy found here and point to it when configuring our `KubernetesJob` infrastructure? It seems like the packaging module did this before but unless I’m misunderstanding doing `prefect deployment build ... -i docker-container` does not have the same functionality?
