@Marvin when starting a prefect server container I get: docker logs prefect-flow-prefect-server-1 Starting Prefect server... _ _ _ _ _ _ _____ | _ \ _ \ __| __| __/ _| _| | _/ / _|| _|| | (_ | | |_| |_|_\___|_| |___\___| |_| Configure Prefect to communicate with the server with: prefect config set PREFECT_API_URL=http://0.0.0.0:4200/api View the API reference documentation at http://0.0.0.0:4200/docs Check out the dashboard at http://0.0.0.0:4200 but is there an api endpoint I can check to ensure prefect server readiness?

To ensure that your Prefect server is ready and operational, you can check its readiness by accessing a health-check endpoint. For Prefect 2.x: Prefect 2.x has an endpoint specifically meant for checking the health of the server. You can make a GET request to:
http://<your-prefect-server-host>:4200/api/health
For Prefect 3.x and Later: Although the exact endpoint for a health check is not directly mentioned in the documentation snippet, you can usually try typical health check endpoints like:
http://<your-prefect-server-host>:4200/api/health
or
http://<your-prefect-server-host>:4200/health
These endpoints should return a response that indicates whether the Prefect server is operating correctly. Using these URL formats should help you verify your Prefect server's readiness. It's always a good idea to refer to the respective Prefect documentation as well: Prefect 2.x documentation snippet: https://docs-2.prefect.io/latest/cloud/connecting/ Prefect 3.x documentation snippet: https://docs-3.prefect.io/3.0/manage/self-host Make sure to replace
<your-prefect-server-host>
with the actual host where your Prefect server is running. If there is any specific endpoint or additional settings required, you can consult the Prefect documentation or check with the Prefect community for any updates.
