Using a self-hosted server, how do I create an access token? Using the cloud option, I can click User -> User Settings -> Personal Access Tokens. But with the self-hosted server it doesn't even show a User icon in the top right.

Hi @jack - Prefect Server doesn't have an authentication layer so you shouldn't need to create access tokens to interact with your API. 🙂

Hi @nicholas Ok, that sounds easy... How do I tell the agent which machine (hostname) to use for its server?

I'd recommend you add a section to the

~/.prefect/config.toml

(you may need to create this) file on the machine where the agent is running:

backend="server"

[server]
endpoint = "YOUR_MACHINES_PUBLIC_IP:4200/graphql"

Alternatively you can use the

--api

flag on the agent CLI: https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/agents/overview.html#prefect-api-address

Got it working---thank you!
