Is it possible to include a link to a pdf produced as output from a run using the

Artifacts

api? I’m currently using the server backed and a local agent.

Hi @Francois van Heerden, did you run into an issue when trying? There is a

create_link_artifact

Yes, sorry dit try (the very naive)

create_link_artifact("file:///<full_path>")

but this created a link with

localhost:8080/default/flow-run

prepended on the host machine and

<host_ip>:8080/flow_run

on a remote machine, casing a 404 error when accessing the link.

Could you show me the code that you tried?

@task(name='Link Document')
def link_document(path):

    # create_link_artifact('file:///{}'.format(path.replace('\\', '/')))

    create_markdown_artifact("Report available at [link](\"file:///{}\").".format(path))

These are the two methods I tried. The

create_markdown_artifact

creates an empty link, while the

create_link_artifact

produces the link with server path prepended as described above.

Ahh ok I see what you mean but I’m not sure. What you want the link to be? Cuz I don’t think you’ll be able to access the link like that from a remote machine?

Ideally an embedded pdf with a download option, in html:

<object data="{}" type="application/pdf" width="700px" height="700px">
    <embed src="{}">
        <p>This browser does not support PDFs. Please download the PDF to view it: <a href="{}">Download PDF</a>.</p>
    </embed>
</object>

But I understand that this might be a challenge, as the server is running in a Docker container with no access to the file system.

I personally don’t know how to shape this link to download from remote. I think this all becomes easier if you maybe use something like S3 to host it?

Yes, this is more or less how I currently handle it (use local hosting instead of S3). Was hoping to avoid the additional copying around, as in many instances the pdf will be overwritten many times. Thanks for the help!
