Can you share your deployment CLI commands If you are using KubernetesJob infrastructure you need a remote storage block like e g S3

Anna Geller · Answer

This is because KubernetesJob runs in a pod that doesn t have access to files on your machine

okay but if not kubernetes for example if it just remote VM machine

Iuliia Volkova · Answer

it is impossible to deploy from local machine to remote Prefect server

Iuliia Volkova · Answer

needed to use remote storage only

Iuliia Volkova · Answer

there is no option when I can save with cli flows to Local storage on Prefect Server

Iuliia Volkova · Answer

this is exactly why REST flow data was very useful this it I can deploy to remote server flows from my local machine without any issues

Iuliia Volkova · Answer

or with RemoteFileSystem I can some how put flow on local filesystem of remote server without using s3 or smth relative

Anna Geller · Answer

I believe the feature we are working on where you can bake the flow code into your Docker image will solve the problem for you
