Yup check out this thread with some examples slightly smiling face <https prefect community slack com archives CL09KU1K7 p1646129678705759 thread ts=1646127089 477499 amp cid=CL09KU1K7> you could use Docker storage or build a custom docker image to package this code

< Anna Geller> I ve already have a package but this config file couldn t be in the package because of auths Is there a way to change working directory for prefect so that it can see the config file

Anna Geller · Answer

You absolutely can there is a command WORKDIR you can use in a Dockerfile to specify custom working directory See <https github com anna geller packaging prefect flows blob master Dockerfile L3|this line>

and of course you can pass some environment variables to your docker image on build so that you don t need to hardcode those in your Dockerfile e g ```docker build build arg ENV VAR=sensitive value ``` check <https vsupalov com docker build pass environment variables |this> for reference

< Anna Geller> Following up I was able to get away with not having auth file in the package by doing ```ENV PYTHONPATH $ PYTHONPATH opt prefect flows ```
