Bring your towel and join one of the fastest growing data communities. Welcome to our second-generation open source orchestration platform, a completely rethought approach to dataflow automation.

Prefect Community

Is there a way to run the prefect agent in detached mode like <https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#detached--d|this>. Just so if shell is closed the agent continues to run? That way I can run the flows on a local server.

Hey <@U01B18XKLV7>!

Check out: <https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/tutorial/multiple.html#install-a-supervised-agent>

It’s a little more in-depth than what you’re looking for but the result is an agent that will at least attempt to restart itself if the process dies

If you’re looking for a convenience method for running in a detached mode I don’t believe we have one

<@UKVFX6N3B> Can I use supervisord with docker agent as well?
