#CL09KU1K7 Hello, Can anyone help with the step-by-step documentation for setting up the prefect tool with docker? As of now, I have installed docker-compose on the machine and am able to run prefect-server using HTTP://localhost:8080, what will be the next steps? How to set up agent and trigger flows so they can be reflected on the dashboard. Any help would be appreciated!

Hey @Piyush Bassi, I’m not sure if people get a notification with the hashtag but just please be careful not to tag the whole Slack channel. You need to configure your agent to point to the API set up. There is an example of that here at the bottom
If you are connecting from an agent in a different machine, you need to start your server with the expose flag.
prefect server start --expose
and make sure the relevant ports are open (also detailed in this article)
And then from there you can try running a flow with server as a backend with this tutorial
And if you run into a more concrete error, we can help with that

Thanks @Kevin Kho, do you have documentation for the on-premise server with a docker agent? I have completed the installation of prefect server and able to access the UI

Then you just need to point to the server
prefect backend server
and then run
prefect docker agent start
