Question

was someone able to run prefect server in local with docker container or something

Kevin Kho · Answer

Hey < m> you re trying to run all services on one container I think you might be able to start it from the docker container but server will still spin up multiple containers through docker compose Just making sure you also know a lot of users are unaware that Cloud has 10000 free task runs every month which is more than enough to get started with

Kevin Kho · Answer

Understand that

Kevin Kho · Answer

Could you maybe try the original docker compose file first and just see if it works before we edit later Like a fresh install of prefect and then `prefect server start` Or using the original compose file in the server repo

Zanie · Answer

This could easily be an issue with environment variables not being passed through when you run `sudo`

Zanie · Answer

e g <https stackoverflow com questions 8633461 how to keep environment variables when using sudo>

m · Answer

maybe it would be easier to don t have to sudo on docker compose

m · Answer

could you tell me which env variable need to be passed in default setting

m · Answer

I need to pass it in sudo command

Zanie · Answer

We are passing a bunch of environment variables through to configure the docker compose command

Zanie · Answer

You can see some of the notable ones in the startup logs when there are warnings that variables are being set to blank strings

Zanie · Answer

I d recommend configuring `docker compose` such that you don t need `sudo`

m · Answer

okey I manage my problem with sudo it came from docker and not docker compose
