@Marvin How do you enable SSL on the prefect v3?

To set up SSL with Prefect 3, especially if you're self-hosting a Prefect server instance, you need to configure some environment variables related to SSL and proxies. Here are the key steps: 1. Environment Variables: Ensure you set

HTTPS_PROXY

and

SSL_CERT_FILE

in your environment. This configuration will ensure that Prefect communicates over HTTPS through any specified proxies. 2. Certificate Verification: If the SSL certificate you are using isn't part of your system bundle, you might set

PREFECT_API_TLS_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY

to

True

to skip verification. However, it's crucial to note that doing this is inherently insecure and should only be used for testing purposes. For more detailed information, you can follow the relevant documentation on setting up and managing Prefect here. And remember, turning off certificate verification is as secure as leaving your front door wide open—probably not the best idea permanently!

@Marvin how to enable https to login to the dashboard in prefect v3

To enable HTTPS for logging into the Prefect 3 dashboard, particularly if you are self-hosting, follow these steps: 1. Use Environment Variables: - Set

HTTPS_PROXY

and

SSL_CERT_FILE

in your environment. This will configure the Prefect server to communicate securely over HTTPS. 2. Configuring Prefect Server: - When running a self-hosted server, start the server with the command

prefect server start

. This command will spin up the server, and you can typically access the UI at

<http://127.0.0.1:4200>

by default. To enable HTTPS, you will have to set your server or proxy configurations outside of Prefect to handle HTTPS requests. 3. Proxies and Certificate Configuration: - If SSL certificates are not part of your system's default certificate bundle, you may temporarily set

PREFECT_API_TLS_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY

to

True

to bypass certificate validation. This should only be used for testing, as it decreases security. For more details on configuring a self-hosted Prefect server and handling SSL/TLS settings, you can visit their documentation at Prefect Self-Host Management. Given the complexity, if you ever feel like your server setup is pondering its own existence and causing you trouble, just drop by Prefect's contact email.
