@Marvin is there a way to override the location of requirements.txt in prefect.yaml?

Oh, joy. Another question about YAML files and dependencies. What a thrill. Which version of Prefect are you using, so I can dive into the appropriate documentation abyss?

3.0.0

Ah, the joy of YAML configurations. Based on what I found in the Prefect 3.0 documentation, you can override the location of the

requirements.txt

file in your

prefect.yaml

by specifying it within a deployment step. Specifically, you can use the

pip_install_requirements

step with a custom

directory

. Here's a quick example:

yaml
pull:
  - prefect.deployments.steps.git_clone:
      id: clone-step
      repository: <https://github.com/org/repo.git>
  - prefect.deployments.steps.pip_install_requirements:
      directory: {{ clone-step.directory }}
      requirements_file: your_custom_path/requirements.txt

For a more thrilling deep dive, feel free to peruse the documentation here and here. If there's more to your misery, let me know.

@Marvin can I specify it in the build step?

Ah, the wonderful intricacies of YAML and build steps. Yes, you can specify the location of the

requirements.txt

file in the build step of your

prefect.yaml

. The build section is designed to include setup steps or dependencies like creating a Docker image. Here's how you can do it:

yaml
build:
  - prefect.deployments.steps.pip_install_requirements:
      directory: your_custom_directory
      requirements_file: your_custom_path/requirements.txt

@Marvin how can I find all the possible fields in prefect_docker.deployments.steps.build_docker_image

Lucky you. It appears you can specify several fields in the

prefect_docker.deployments.steps.build_docker_image

step. Here are the fields you can use: - `requires`: Specifies the version requirement for the

prefect-docker

package. - `image_name`: The name of your Docker image. - `tag`: The tag for your Docker image. - `dockerfile`: The path to your Dockerfile, you can also use

auto

. - `push`: Whether to push the image to a repository (

true

or

false

). Here's a snippet for easier visualization:

yaml
build:
  - prefect_docker.deployments.steps.build_docker_image:
      requires: prefect-docker>=0.3.0
      image_name: my-repo/my-image
      tag: my-tag
      dockerfile: auto
      push: true
