I am trying to run the orion server inside a docker container, but I can’t get it to work. This is my command:

docker run --platform linux/amd64 -ti -p 4200:4200 --expose=4200 prefecthq/prefect:2.0.1-python3.9

Once my container is ready, I execute

prefect orion start

inside of it I see the in the logs that the server successfully started, however I don’t get a connection when I open http://localhost:4200 in my browser.

can you try in a virtual environment instead? running in docker is a bit harder with networking, bind mounting volumes, ...

Just got it to work 😄 I now run

prefect orion start --host 0.0.0.0

inside the container

yes that works, but unless you mount a volume, you can't run anything against it?

I haven’t tried yet, just saw the UI and was happy 😂 I plan to use an external postgres db, so as long as I provide the connection string I don’t need a volume, right?

you're right, works
