@Marvin I need help with this worker pool job template config: 1 validation error for DockerWorkerJobConfiguration volumes value is not a valid list (type=type_error.list)
m
It appears there's an issue retrieving documentation directly. Lovely. Technology is ever so reliable. The error you're encountering indicates that the
volumes
attribute in your DockerWorkerJobConfiguration is expected to be a list, but it isn't. Here are a few things to check: 1. Ensure that
volumes
is defined as a list in your configuration. 2. Each volume in the list should conform to Docker's volume specification:
Copy code
python
     from prefect.deployments import Deployment
     from prefect.server.schemas.schedules import IntervalSchedule
     from prefect.infrastructure.docker import DockerContainer
     
     infrastructure = DockerContainer(
         image="my-image",
         volumes=["/host/path:/container/path"]
     )
     
     deployment = Deployment(
         name="my-deployment",
         flow=my_flow,
         schedule=IntervalSchedule(interval=timedelta(minutes=5)),
         infrastructure=infrastructure,
     )
     
     deployment.apply()
If your configurations are already correct and you are still encountering this error, it might be a good idea to validate that no extraneous characters or wrong data types slipped into your configuration. If you need the exact syntax or more information, the Prefect documentation will be your best source of truth.

@Marvin my docker compose file has a container configured as follows: prefect-dev-server: image: dijarvrella444/prefect-base:latest environment: - PREFECT_API_URL=http://localhost:4200/api - PREFECT_SERVER_API_HOST=0.0.0.0 - PREFECT_NODE_TYPE=server - BASE_JOB_TEMPLATE_PATH=worker-base-job-template.yaml - WORK_POOL_NAME=seedoo-custom-worker-1 - WORK_POOL_TYPE=docker ports: - "4220-4221:4200-4201" command: | sh -c ' prefect server start && echo "HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII" && prefect work-pool create "seedoo-custom-worker-1" --type "docker" --base-job-template "worker-base-job-template.yaml"' why can't the command run the echo and prefect work-pool create command? It only runs the prefect server start
m
When running multiple commands in Docker Compose using the
sh -c
approach, each command should be separated by the
&&
operator. However, it seems like you are chaining commands correctly already. Your
command
should work in typical Docker environments. One potential issue could be that the commands after
prefect server start
aren't executed because
prefect server start
might keep running and not return control to the shell for the next command. Instead, you might need to run the
prefect work-pool create
command in the background and then wait for the server to start. Here’s a refined approach:
Copy code
yaml
  prefect-dev-server:
    image: dijarvrella444/prefect-base:latest
    environment:
      - PREFECT_API_URL=<http://localhost:4200/api>
      - PREFECT_SERVER_API_HOST=0.0.0.0
      - PREFECT_NODE_TYPE=server
      - BASE_JOB_TEMPLATE_PATH=worker-base-job-template.yaml
      - WORK_POOL_NAME=seedoo-custom-worker-1
      - WORK_POOL_TYPE=docker
    ports:
      - "4220-4221:4200-4201"
    command: /bin/sh -c "prefect server start & echo \"HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII\" & prefect work-pool create \"seedoo-custom-worker-1\" --type \"docker\" --base-job-template \"worker-base-job-template.yaml\""
Make sure to use
/bin/sh -c
which is a more common shell, and separate commands with
&
to run them in the background. If this does not resolve your issue, it might help to ensure that the
prefect work-pool create
command is properly formed and that it does not depend on the server start command completing immediately.
d
@Marvin Try 'prefect work-pool create --help' for help. marvin-prefect-dev-server-1 | ╭─ Error ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮ marvin-prefect-dev-server-1 | │ Invalid value for '--base-job-template': 'worker-base-job-template.yaml': Is │ marvin-prefect-dev-server-1 | │ a directory
m
The error indicates that
worker-base-job-template.yaml
is being recognized as a directory instead of a file. Here are a few things you can check and correct: 1. Path Verification: Ensure that
worker-base-job-template.yaml
is indeed a file and located in the appropriate directory within the Docker container. 2. Correct Path Usage: If you're using a relative path, it should be relative to the working directory within the Docker container. You might need to specify the full path to the file. 3. File Mounting: Ensure that you have correctly mounted the file into the container if it is not built into the Docker image. Here's an updated approach using absolute paths if applicable: ### Docker Compose Example:
Copy code
yaml
  prefect-dev-server:
    image: dijarvrella444/prefect-base:latest
    environment:
      - PREFECT_API_URL=<http://localhost:4200/api>
      - PREFECT_SERVER_API_HOST=0.0.0.0
      - PREFECT_NODE_TYPE=server
      - BASE_JOB_TEMPLATE_PATH=/path/to/worker-base-job-template.yaml
      - WORK_POOL_NAME=seedoo-custom-worker-1
      - WORK_POOL_TYPE=docker
    ports:
      - "4220-4221:4200-4201"
    volumes:
      - /absolute/path/on/host/worker-base-job-template.yaml:/path/to/worker-base-job-template.yaml
    command: /bin/sh -c "prefect server start && echo \"HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII\" && prefect work-pool create \"seedoo-custom-worker-1\" --type \"docker\" --base-job-template \"/path/to/worker-base-job-template.yaml\""
### Steps: 1. Update Environment Variables:
BASE_JOB_TEMPLATE_PATH
should reflect the correct path within the container. 2. Mount Volume: Ensure the volume correctly maps the file from the host to the container. 3. Adjust Command: Update the path in the command section according to the container's filesystem. Ensure all paths are accurate and corresponding files exist. You can also verify by running an interactive shell inside your container and executing the path commands step-by-step.
d
@Marvin looks like you can't create a work-pool and append a base-job-template? you have to first create and than update the work-pool with the job template?
m
It seems accessing the Prefect documentation and GitHub issues directly isn't being cooperative today. How delightful. However, let me provide guidance based on typical usage. You are correct; sometimes, in configurations, you need to separate actions such as creating a work pool and then updating it with a template. Here's how you can structure your commands: ### Docker Compose Approach: Given that you need to both create and update the work pool, separate these commands clearly in your Docker Compose file.
Copy code
yaml
  prefect-dev-server:
    image: dijarvrella444/prefect-base:latest
    environment:
      - PREFECT_API_URL=<http://localhost:4200/api>
      - PREFECT_SERVER_API_HOST=0.0.0.0
      - PREFECT_NODE_TYPE=server
      - BASE_JOB_TEMPLATE_PATH=/path/to/worker-base-job-template.yaml
      - WORK_POOL_NAME=seedoo-custom-worker-1
      - WORK_POOL_TYPE=docker
    ports:
      - "4220-4221:4200-4201"
    volumes:
      - /absolute/path/on/host/worker-base-job-template.yaml:/path/to/worker-base-job-template.yaml
    command: >
      /bin/sh -c "prefect server start & 
      echo 'HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII' &&
      prefect work-pool create seedoo-custom-worker-1 --type docker &&
      prefect work-pool update seedoo-custom-worker-1 --base-job-template /path/to/worker-base-job-template.yaml"
### Explanation: 1. Combined Commands: Use
&&
to ensure commands run sequentially. 2. Separate Update: The second command updates the work pool with the template. #### Key Points: 1. File Path: Ensure the
worker-base-job-template.yaml
path is correct and accessible within the container. 2. Volume Mount: Confirm the volume is mounted correctly, reflecting the correct internal path. 3. Sequential Execution: Ensure your updates occur after the server starts and the work pool is created. This way, you sequentially create the work pool and then update it with the job template.

To specify the Prefect server API in your Python script, you can set the
PREFECT_API_URL
environment variable before running your script. This environment variable tells the Prefect client where your Prefect server is located. Here is an updated version of your script including how to set the environment variable within the script itself:
Copy code
python
import os
from prefect.client.orchestration import get_client
from prefect.client.schemas.filters import FlowRunFilter, LogFilter
import asyncio

# Set the Prefect server API URL
os.environ["PREFECT_API_URL"] = "<http://localhost:4200/api>"  # Adjust the URL accordingly

async def trigger_deployment():
    async with get_client() as client:
        # Fetch the last deployment
        deployments = await client.read_deployments()
        last_deployment = deployments[-1]

        flow_run = await client.create_flow_run_from_deployment(
            deployment_id=last_deployment.id
        )
        print(f"Flow Run ID: {flow_run.id}")

        while True:
            flow_run_state = (await client.read_flow_run(flow_run.id)).state.name
            if flow_run_state in {"Completed", "Failed", "Cancelled"}:
                break
            print(f"Current state: {flow_run_state}. Waiting to complete...")
            await asyncio.sleep(10)

        logs_filter = LogFilter(flow_run_id={"any_": [str(flow_run.id)]})
        logs = await client.read_logs(log_filter=logs_filter)

        for log in logs:
            print(f"{log.timestamp} - {log.level}: {log.message}")

# Run the asyncio event loop
asyncio.run(trigger_deployment())
### Steps: 1. Environment Variable: The
PREFECT_API_URL
variable is set to your Prefect server's API endpoint (
<http://localhost:4200/api>
in this example). 2. Script Execution: Ensures all Prefect client requests use the specified API URL. You can adjust the URL in the
os.environ["PREFECT_API_URL"]
line according to your actual API endpoint.

Automating Prefect deployments can be achieved by using a combination of Prefect configuration files and custom automation scripts. Since
prefect.yaml
is missing, we can create one and automate the deployment process. ### Step-by-Step Guide: 1. Generate prefect.yaml:
Copy code
bash
   prefect deployment build flow.py:my_flow --name "my-deployment" --output prefect.yaml
2. Automate Deployment Registration: Create a script called
deploy.sh
to automate this process. ### deploy.sh:
Copy code
bash
#!/bin/bash

# Path Setup
WORK_DIR="/opt/prefect"
cd $WORK_DIR

# Set Environment Variable for Prefect API URL
export PREFECT_API_URL=<http://localhost:4200/api>

# Generate prefect.yaml if it does not exist
if [ ! -f "prefect.yaml" ]; then
    prefect deployment build flow.py:my_flow --name "my-deployment" --output prefect.yaml
fi

# Apply the deployment
prefect deployment apply prefect.yaml
### Execution Inside Docker: 1. Docker Execution: Ensure your Docker container has
deploy.sh
script accessible. 2. Add to Dockerfile (if rebuilding image):
Copy code
dockerfile
   COPY deploy.sh /opt/prefect/deploy.sh
   RUN chmod +x /opt/prefect/deploy.sh
3. Execute Script:
Copy code
bash
   docker exec -it marvin-prefect-dev-server-1 /bin/bash -c "/opt/prefect/deploy.sh"
### Explanation: 1. Environment Variable: Sets the Prefect API endpoint. 2. Conditional YAML Generation: Checks if
prefect.yaml
exists; if not, it generates one. 3. Deploys Flow: The script uses
prefect deployment apply
to register the deployment. ### Key Points: - This script will ensure that every time you run it, the deployment configuration is generated and applied, automating the update process. - Adjust the paths and flow names in the script according to your actual setup. This approach will streamline your Prefect deployment process effectively.

with the detail
Block not found
suggests that the deployment is referencing a block that does not exist or is not registered. Here are a few steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. Ensure Blocks Exist: Ensure that all the necessary blocks (like storage blocks, infrastructure blocks) are created and registered on the Prefect server. 2. Check Deployment Configuration: Verify that your deployment configuration correctly references existing blocks. ### Example of Registering a Block:
Copy code
python
from prefect.blocks.system import LocalFileSystem
local_file_system_block = LocalFileSystem(basepath="/some/path")
local_file_system_block.save(name="local-storage-block")
### Example of Specifying the Block in Deployment: Ensure that your
prefect.yaml
or deployment script correctly references the block:
Copy code
yaml
deployments:
  - name: my-deployment
    flow_name: my-flow
    infrastructure:
      - prefect.infrastructure.docker.DockerContainer:
          id: "my-docker-container-block"
3. Verify API URL and Connectivity: Ensure your Prefect server is running and reachable at
<http://localhost:4220/api>
. Use the correct API URL and port if different. 4. Deployment YAML Verification: Make sure the
prefect.yaml
file contains valid and existing block IDs. ### Script Example: Here's an example assuming you need to create a flow deployment:
Copy code
bash
prefect deployment build flow.py:my_flow --name my-deployment --storage-block local-file-system/my-local-storage --infra-block my-docker-container-block --output prefect.yaml
prefect deployment apply prefect.yaml
### Full Troubleshooting Steps: 1. Check Block Registration: Ensure all blocks, especially storage and infrastructure, are created and registered. 2. Validate Configuration: Make sure the deployment configuration correctly references these blocks. 3. Ping API: Validate the Prefect server's accessibility:
Copy code
bash
   curl -X GET <http://localhost:4220/api>
By following these steps and reapplying your deployment, you should resolve the
Block not found
issue. If further issues persist, consider rechecking the ID and names of the registered blocks. References: - Best practices and examples: Prefect Documentation

### Key Points: 1. Document Start (
---
)
: Ensure that the file starts with
---
if there are multiple documents in the same file. 2. Consistent Indentation: YAML is sensitive to indentation. Ensure that all levels are correctly indented. 3. Required Fields: Include all required fields such as
entrypoint
. ### Full YAML Example:
Copy code
yaml
---
name: prefect
prefect-version: 2.19.5

pull:
- prefect.deployments.steps.set_working_directory:
    directory: /opt/prefect

deployments:
- name: new-pull-and-run-image
  entrypoint: flow.py:pull_and_run_image
  parameters: {}
  work_pool:
    name: seedoo-custom-worker-1
  tags: []
  schedules: []
### Applying the Correct Configuration: 1. Update your
new-prefect-srv.yaml
with the fixed format. 2. Apply the deployment:
Copy code
bash
   prefect deployment apply new-prefect-srv.yaml
Here's a concise execution script you can run inside your Docker container: ### deploy.sh:
Copy code
bash
#!/bin/bash

# Path Setup
WORK_DIR="/opt/prefect"
cd $WORK_DIR

# Set Environment Variable for Prefect API URL
export PREFECT_API_URL=<http://localhost:4200/api>

# Apply the deployment
prefect deployment apply new-prefect-srv.yaml
### Execute Script in Docker:
Copy code
bash
docker exec -it marvin-prefect-dev-server-1 /bin/bash -c "/opt/prefect/deploy.sh"
This should resolve the YAML parsing issues and set up the deployment correctly.

@Marvin Deployment configuration saved to prefect.yaml! You can now deploy using this deployment configuration with: $ prefect deploy -n seedoo You can also make changes to this deployment configuration by making changes to the YAML file. To execute flow runs from this deployment, start a worker in a separate terminal that pulls work from the 'seedoo-custom-worker-1' work pool: $ prefect worker start --pool 'seedoo-custom-worker-1' To schedule a run for this deployment, use the following command: $ prefect deployment run 'pull-and-run-image/seedoo' (prefect) root@c395c5582eba:/opt/prefect# prefect deployment run 'pull-and-run-image/seedoo'\
^C
(prefect) root@c395c5582eba:/opt/prefect# prefect deployment run 'pull-and-run-image/seedoo' Creating flow run for deployment 'pull-and-run-image/seedoo'... Block not found.
m
The error "Block not found" when attempting to schedule a run for the deployment indicates that the specified block (probably a storage or infrastructure block) does not exist or is not registered correctly. Here's how you can resolve and verify the step-by-step: ### Step-by-Step Guide to Resolve "Block not found": 1. Ensure the Block is Registered: - Verify that all required blocks (e.g., storage or infrastructure blocks) are created and registered. 2. Check Deployment Configuration: - Ensure that the
prefect.yaml
correctly references existing blocks. ### Example of Registering a Block: Register the block in Python:
Copy code
python
from prefect.infrastructure import DockerContainer

# Create and register a DockerContainer block
docker_block = DockerContainer(
    image="my-image",
    name="my-docker-container-block"
)
docker_block.save("my-docker-container-block")
### Verify and Edit YAML Configuration: Ensure your deployment YAML (
prefect.yaml
) correctly references the block:
Copy code
yaml
name: prefect
prefect-version: 2.19.5

deployments:
- name: seedoo
  entrypoint: flow.py:pull_and_run_image
  parameters: {}
  work_pool:
    name: seedoo-custom-worker-1
  tags: []
  schedules: []
  infrastructure:
    type: docker-container
    block: my-docker-container-block
### Apply the Deployment: 1. Generate YAML if Not Done:
Copy code
bash
   prefect deployment build flow.py:pull_and_run_image --name seedoo --output prefect.yaml
2. Apply the Deployment:
Copy code
bash
   prefect deployment apply prefect.yaml
### Start Worker: Make sure the worker is started and pulling work from the correct work pool:
Copy code
bash
prefect worker start --pool 'seedoo-custom-worker-1'
### Schedule a Run: Once everything is correctly configured, schedule a run:
Copy code
bash
prefect deployment run 'pull-and-run-image/seedoo'
### Additional Checkpoints: 1. Validation: Ensure the Prefect server is reachable and the API URL is correct. 2. Logs: Check logs for any additional details if errors persist. By ensuring all steps are accurately followed, including the creation and referencing of correct blocks, the "Block not found" error should be resolved.

The "Block not found" error indicates there is a reference to a block (such as infrastructure, storage, etc.) that does not exist or has not been registered. Ensure all required blocks are created and registered. Since the
prefect.yaml
doesn't explicitly reference any blocks for storage or infrastructure, let's add and verify them. ### Example Structure: 1. Ensure the Docker block exists and is referenced: Ensure you have a Docker container block created if that’s what you use for deployment. ### Register Docker Container Block: If using
DockerContainer
, make sure it's registered:
Copy code
python
from prefect.infrastructure.docker import DockerContainer

# Create and register a DockerContainer block
docker_block = DockerContainer(
    image="my-image",
    name="my-docker-container-block"  # Provide a unique name
)
docker_block.save("my-docker-container-block")
### Update
prefect.yaml
with Infrastructure Block: Include the
infrastructure
block reference in your
prefect.yaml
file:
Copy code
yaml
name: prefect
prefect-version: 2.19.5

pull:
- prefect.deployments.steps.set_working_directory:
    directory: /opt/prefect

deployments:
- name: seedoo
  entrypoint: flow.py:pull_and_run_image
  parameters: {}
  work_pool:
    name: seedoo-custom-worker-1
  infrastructure:
    docker-container: my-docker-container-block  # Reference the block name here
  tags: []
  schedules: []
Ensure the blocks referenced in the configuration exist on the Prefect server. ### Steps to Apply: 1. Add/Create Required Blocks:
Copy code
python
   from prefect.infrastructure.docker import DockerContainer

   docker_block = DockerContainer(
       image="my-image",
       name="my-docker-container-block"  # Ensure this name matches the reference in the YAML
   )
   docker_block.save("my-docker-container-block")
2. Update prefect.yaml:
Copy code
yaml
   name: prefect
   prefect-version: 2.19.5

   pull:
   - prefect.deployments.steps.set_working_directory:
       directory: /opt/prefect

   deployments:
   - name: seedoo
     entrypoint: flow.py:pull_and_run_image
     parameters: {}
     work_pool:
       name: seedoo-custom-worker-1
     infrastructure:
       docker-container: my-docker-container-block  # Reference the block name here
     tags: []
     schedules: []
3. Apply the Deployment:
Copy code
bash
   prefect deployment apply prefect.yaml
4. Start Worker:
Copy code
bash
   prefect worker start --pool 'seedoo-custom-worker-1'
5. Schedule a Run:
Copy code
bash
   prefect deployment run 'pull-and-run-image/seedoo'
Ensure that your blocks (infrastructure, storage, etc.) are correctly created and referenced. This should resolve the "Block not found" error.

@Marvin I want to configure docker registry credentials block with prefect cli how to do that?
m
To configure Docker registry credentials using the Prefect CLI, you will need to create a DockerRegistry block to store your Docker registry credentials. Here’s how you can do it: ### Step 1: Create Docker Registry Credentials Block Use the Prefect CLI to create a Docker registry credentials block with the necessary details. ### Command:
Copy code
bash
prefect block create docker-registry
### Interactive Prompt: This command will prompt you interactively to enter the registry URL, username, and password. 1. Registry URL: The URL of the Docker registry. 2. Username: Your Docker registry username. 3. Password: Your Docker registry password. ### Example:
Copy code
bash
$ prefect block create docker-registry
? Registry URL: <https://index.docker.io/v1/>
? Docker username: your_docker_username
? Docker password: your_docker_password
### Step 2: Verify the Block is Created After creating the block, you can verify that it has been created by listing all blocks.
Copy code
bash
prefect block ls
You should see an entry for
docker-registry
among the block types listed. ### Step 3: Use the Docker Registry Block in your YAML or Scripts Update your deployment YAML (
prefect.yaml
) to use the created credentials block. ### YAML Configuration:
Copy code
yaml
name: prefect
prefect-version: 2.19.5

pull:
- prefect.deployments.steps.set_working_directory:
    directory: /opt/prefect

deployments:
- name: seedoo
  entrypoint: flow.py:pull_and_run_image
  parameters: {}
  work_pool:
    name: seedoo-custom-worker-1
  infrastructure:
    docker-container:
      image: your-image
      registry:
        block: docker-registry/my-docker-registry-block  # This is your block reference
  tags: []
  schedules: []
### Step 4: Apply the Deployment After updating the
prefect.yaml
file, deploy the configuration:
Copy code
bash
prefect deploy -n seedoo
### Starting a Worker: Ensure that the worker is started and configured to pull from the specified work pool:
Copy code
bash
prefect worker start --pool 'seedoo-custom-worker-1'
### Scheduling a Run: Finally, schedule a deployment run:
Copy code
bash
prefect deployment run 'pull-and-run-image/seedoo'
By following these steps, you can configure and use Docker registry credentials with Prefect using the CLI, ensuring your deployments can pull images from a secured Docker registry.

@Marvin can you create me a bash script that handles this automatically? prefect block create docker-registry ? Registry URL: https://index.docker.io/v1/ ? Docker username: your_docker_username ? Docker password: your_docker_password
m
Certainly! Below is a Bash script that automates the creation of a Docker registry credentials block in Prefect. This script uses
expect
to handle interactive input. ### create_docker_registry_block.sh:
Copy code
bash
#!/bin/bash

# Set Variables
REGISTRY_URL="<https://index.docker.io/v1/>"
DOCKER_USERNAME="your_docker_username"
DOCKER_PASSWORD="your_docker_password"

# Command to create Docker registry block
create_block_cmd="prefect block create docker-registry"

# Generate the script for `expect`
expect_script=$(cat <<EOF
spawn $create_block_cmd
expect "Registry URL:"
send "$REGISTRY_URL\r"
expect "Docker username:"
send "$DOCKER_USERNAME\r"
expect "Docker password:"
send "$DOCKER_PASSWORD\r"
expect eof
EOF
)

# Running the `expect` script
expect <(echo "$expect_script")

# Verify block creation (Optional)
prefect block ls | grep docker-registry
### Steps to Use the Script: 1. Save the Script: Save the script in a file named
create_docker_registry_block.sh
. 2. Make the Script Executable: Ensure the script is executable by running:
Copy code
bash
   chmod +x create_docker_registry_block.sh
3. Execute the Script: Run the script to create the Docker registry credentials block:
Copy code
bash
   ./create_docker_registry_block.sh
### Explanation: 1. Set Variables: Replace
your_docker_username
and
your_docker_password
with actual values. Adjust the
REGISTRY_URL
if necessary. 2. Expect Script: The script uses
expect
to interact with the Prefect CLI and enter the necessary credentials automatically. 3. Verify Block Creation: The script optionally verifies that the Docker registry block has been created by listing the blocks and checking for
docker-registry
. Make sure you have
expect
installed. On most systems, you can install it using: - Ubuntu/Debian:
Copy code
bash
  sudo apt-get install expect
- CentOS/RHEL:
Copy code
bash
  sudo yum install expect
This script will automate the creation of the Docker registry credentials block in Prefect. Make sure to replace placeholder values with actual credentials.
d
@Marvin can I do this without expect?
m
Yes, you can accomplish this without using
expect
by directly interacting with the Prefect API to create the Docker registry credentials block. However, since Prefect CLI doesn't support non-interactive creation of blocks directly via command-line arguments, we'll use Python to achieve this. ### create_docker_registry_block.sh: Here's a Bash script that uses a Python script to create the Docker registry block.
Copy code
bash
#!/bin/bash

# Set Variables
REGISTRY_URL="<https://index.docker.io/v1/>"
DOCKER_USERNAME="your_docker_username"
DOCKER_PASSWORD="your_docker_password"
BLOCK_NAME="my-docker-registry-block"  # Change as needed

# Create a Python script to register the block
create_block_script=$(cat <<EOF
from prefect.blocks.system import Secret
from prefect.infrastructure.docker import DockerRegistry

# Create Docker registry credentials block
docker_registry_block = DockerRegistry(
    registry_url="$REGISTRY_URL",
    username="$DOCKER_USERNAME",
    password=Secret("$DOCKER_PASSWORD")
)

# Save block with a unique name
docker_registry_block.save("$BLOCK_NAME", overwrite=True)
EOF
)

# Run the Python script to create the Docker registry block
python3 -c "$create_block_script"

# Verify block creation (Optional)
prefect block ls | grep docker-registry
### Steps to Use the Script: 1. Save the Script: Save the script in a file named
create_docker_registry_block.sh
. 2. Make the Script Executable: Ensure the script is executable by running:
Copy code
bash
   chmod +x create_docker_registry_block.sh
3. Execute the Script: Run the script to create the Docker registry credentials block:
Copy code
bash
   ./create_docker_registry_block.sh
### Explanation: 1. Set Variables: Replace
your_docker_username
and
your_docker_password
with actual values. Adjust the
REGISTRY_URL
if necessary. Set the
BLOCK_NAME
to your desired block name. 2. Python Script: The embedded Python script creates and saves the Docker registry credentials block using Prefect's
DockerRegistry
block. 3. Verify Block Creation: The script optionally verifies that the Docker registry block has been created by listing the blocks and checking for
docker-registry
. ### Additional Requirements: Ensure you have
prefect
installed and available in your environment:
Copy code
bash
pip install prefect
This approach avoids using
expect
and instead leverages Python to programmatically create the required Docker registry credentials block. Ensure to replace the placeholder values with your actual Docker registry credentials.
