Hello, I've set up prefect version 0.13.5 on a ec2 instance and trying to connect to graphql api via the ui. I fire up the server using --ui-port 8888 to change the default port from 8080 to 8888 and have set up the config file as shown in the image. When i browse to the UI i am unable to connect to graphql endpoint. it shows unable to connect to Http://Http😕/<IP_address>:4200. I am unable to get rid of the extra Http:// even when setting endpoint using the dashboard on prefect UI. Been adviced to check if apollo is exposed correctly on the machine im running on. I cannot find the default port for apollo. Do the --server-port tags in prefect server start refer to apollo? How I could set up apollo endpoint using the cli... something on the lines of prefect server start --ui-port- 8888.

Hi @Anish Chhaparwal - thanks for starting the thread here. There are just 2 ports you'll need to expose on your machine: 4200 (for Apollo) and 8888 (for the UI since you've changed that). You shouldn't need to change anything by default for this, you'll just need to expose that port in your machine's config.

I am running on a VM and do not have access to open ports. By any chance can we redirect apollo to another port say 8887? if so what changes do i need to make?

You can use

--server-port 8887

OR you can set

host_port

in

~/.prefect/config.toml

like this:

[server]
host_port=8887

Hey I finally managed to connect to graphql. Unfortunately, everything isnt fine. I am unable to go to the dashboard page. Even though i click on it nothing happens. i remain on the same page. same with interactive api. now i am able to open the graphql on the browser so i know that it isnt the problem. additionally when i try and register my flow i get the error attached in the picture.

@Anish Chhaparwal how did you start your server? With

prefect server start

? The circumstances in which you'll be forced to the home page are when you have no tenant; the tenant should be created automatically with the above command

I used prefect backend server followed by prefect server start. How can i resolve this issue?

Try running the command that's on the home page under the

TENANT

tab - it looks to be visible in the screenshot you sent.

Hello nicholas the method you suggested works but how do i get it to create tenant from default?
