Hi all! Im having an issue trying to create a tenant, it throws the following exception: "HTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=4200): Max retries exceeded with url....". I'm running my own docker compose file. Apollo's server is running fine, it connects to the UI. But it seems like wont connect when trying to create the tenant with the command "prefect server create-tenant --name default --slug default". Is there any way to change the default ip "localhost" to a custom one?

Hey @García Gimenez Ignacio - 6to 2da, if you are connecting to Prefect Server from another machine, and your Prefect version is 0.15.5 and above, you need to start it with the expose flag like

prefect server start --expose

Before you do that, you can edit the config.toml to point to the IP

[server]
  [server.ui]
    apollo_url = "<http://YOUR_MACHINES_PUBLIC_IP:4200/graphql>"

And on your machine connecting there:

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

I've already have that in my Docker Compose file

The second one is the

config.toml

for the machine you’re trying to hit the API with.

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

Is there anyway to specify that endpoint via Enviroment Variable?

Try

PREFECT__SERVER__ENDPOINT

Still not working 😞

Are you trying on to connect from the same machine or different machine?

I'm just attached to the container, via the docker terminal. And trying to create the tenant

Sorry a bit confused. Is your command line running in the container or on the host machine? If it’s still

localhost

, I think it didn’t get the environment variable? Maybe you can check if the env variable is set. This has to be set on machine communicating with the API

I have a docker-compose file in a VM (192.168.0.43) with a Docker Environment. And via SSH I'm running "docker-compose up" in the VM to get Prefect working. I can connect to the UI using the IP of the VM and the :8080 port. I'm algo trying to run commands using "docker exec -u 0 -it server_graphql_1 bash" and accessing the terminal of the Prefect's UI Docker Instance.

Ah ok and you are creating the tenant via the SSH terminal? or on your machine that is connecting through SSH?

Im creating the tenant in the SSH Terminal

@García Gimenez Ignacio - 6to 2da - since you can connect to the API with your browser, would you mind trying to leave the SSH session and use your local terminal (with the endpoint set as Kevin described) to run the create tenant command? It sounds like there’s some mixup of environments happening right now

But how? I'm running a Windows Machine, how i'm supposed to run "prefect server create-tenant --name default --slug default"? Do I need to install something?

You would need to install the prefect python package on your machine to do that; alternatively you can try SSHing into your VM and checking that the environment variable described above is correctly set with

printenv
