I will not be able to expose prefect server to other machines on my network, have I understood that correctly? If start the backend on my computer, only agents on that computer will be able to register?

Hey @Mikkel Antonsen, this is not right. You can expose Prefect server to outside connections and agents. You just need to make sure that the host compute accepts connections and that you use the

--expose

flag (for 0.15.5 and up)

Great, thanks Kevin!

There was changes for security reasons so you need to explicitly do

prefect server start --expose

in Prefect 0.15.5. Maybe just use Prefect 0.15.4 first.

Sounds like a good security measure. Thanks for the help, seems like

--expose

isn't really documented anywhere.
