Hi all, First time here, tried running prefect local server,,,( prefect server backend) followed every step of Getting started document ,UI server starts but i continuously fail to launch a local agent. Any hints around what could be possibly wrong.

Hi @A P - welcome! Can you give some information on how you're running Prefect Server and how you're launching your agent? 🙂

Thanks Nicholas, Prefect server & all other component (hasura, GraphQL) they are all being launched in docker containers on the local box, and the agent is being launched from the host (not from with in the container)

Got it, thank you! Which means you're running

prefect server start

from the host machine and not from within another container, correct?

yes- exactly

On your local machine could you try running

prefect backend server

and then registering your agent?

this is the order of event that i tried,

Ok that sounds correct to me, what error are you seeing?

Magically another run, after complete start, worked.. can't beat the complete restart magic. 🙂

Glad you got it! 😄
