Hi everybody, I'm currently hosting my prefect server with multiple deployments on a remote machine in my network. I'm now calling these deployed flows within a flow that is running on my local machine. These deployed flows are returning some kind of data. How can I know access their return values without the use of cloud services like S3 Bucket?

I think you can use the

LocalFileSystem

to store results locally.

from prefect.filesystems import LocalFileSystem

# To create the block
mynewblock = LocalFileSystem(basepath="/path/to/store/results")
mynewblock.save("local-fs-block")

# To use the block
my_local_fs_block = LocalFileSystem.load("local-fs-block")

# Then in your flow decorator, pass this to the result_storage.
@flow(result_storage=my_local_fs_block, persist_result=True)

Alternatively, you can also set the env var

PREFECT_DEFAULT_RESULT_STORAGE_BLOCK

like PREFECT_DEFAULT_RESULT_STORAGE_BLOCK=local-fs-block instead.
