@Marvin When I try to start prefect server locally I am getting this warning WARNING: Active profile 'local' set in the profiles file not found. The default profile will be used instead How can k resolve it ?

The warning you're seeing suggests that Prefect cannot find a profile named 'local' in your configuration, and is falling back to the default profile. To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps depending on your Prefect version: ### For Prefect 2.x: 1. List Available Profiles: Run
prefect profile ls
to see the list of available profiles on your system. If 'local' is missing, you need to create or define it properly. 2. Create or Use a Profile: - To switch to a different existing profile, run
prefect profile use <profile_name>
. - If 'local' is indeed required, create it using:
prefect profile create local
. Check Prefect's settings documentation for more commands: Prefect 2.x Settings and Profiles Guide ### For Prefect 3.x: 1. View and Manage Profiles: - You can run
prefect config view --show-defaults
to view all available settings and find out what profiles exist by default. - Profiles are stored in a TOML file usually at
~/.prefect/profiles.toml
. If the 'local' profile is missing from this file, you might want to add it manually or create it using CLI commands. 2. Create or Use a Profile: - To manage profiles, use commands like
prefect profile create local
to create a new profile, or
prefect profile use default
if you want to switch back to the default. More details on managing settings and profiles can be found here: Prefect 3.x Settings and Profiles Guide If you still encounter issues, you might want to verify the configuration files manually or consult the relevant sections of the official documentation linked above for further troubleshooting steps.
