Prefect Community

Hello folks, fairly new to Prefect and working to get things set up in a fairly restricted environment.  Any tips/tricks to install prefect server/ui using Docker on a server with no internet access?

Hey James, that sounds a bit hard. How would you copy other Docker containers over?

But if you have no internet…how can server run? Like you’re only going to orchestrate work on the same machine?

There are a few select ports open to orchestrate across the network and a few select APIs, but generally do not whitelist package stores.  So, I could somehow download from a machine with internet and load it into Docker?  Just would need to make sure all required images were loaded.

That sounds like the way to do it (if possible). I don’t have experience but yes you would need to load them into Docker and then `prefect server start` will pull the containers and there shouldn’t be a download since they already exist on the machine. Maybe?

On the UI front at least, once you have the image you should be g2g; the UI should work in a completely airgapped environment, so long as it can talk to the API
