Hi everyone — I’m running prefect server as an ECS service, and I’m wondering in which container I need to add the config.toml file, or if I can’t use this file config because I’m not running “prefect server start”… Point is, I want to automate this URL but not sure how to, does anyone know?

How are you starting the server?

You can set the environment variable. It'll only be the default though as you can change it from that page.

it’s odd but it looks like setting the environment variable didn’t work, as UI still shows the default URL on that corner part of the UI..

Did you set

PREFECT_SERVER__APOLLO_URL

?

yes I did! The first time I started the service the URL wasn’t set, I only set it on re-deployments, and it didn’t work, so I’m wondering if they store that url somewhere or something…

Do you have a config.toml file?

to which container should I add it?

On the machine that prefect server is running on . Not in the container

But I’m deploying via ECS (docker compose)

could it be

PREFECT__SERVER__SERVER____UI____ APOLLO_URL

for your container env var in your task definition? I reckon it’s just matter of figuring out how to define the

env_var

I’m gonna try this

PREFECT__SERVER__SERVER____UI____APOLLO_URL

you suggested

🤞 worth a shot

Actually I think the first suggestion was missing an underscore. See this

ah! This makes sense..

close enough!
