Prefect Community

Hi all, I'm just getting started with Prefect and Docker as well. Basically, I'm trying to find out how I go from executing flow runs using the Local agent to using the Docker agent.

I have a registered flow that's stored on Github. This runs fine using a Local agent in my local environment.

Attempting to run the flow with a Docker agent fails with `ModuleNotFoundError`. To make this work will I need to create a docker image that includes all the dependencies? Also, this means that I will have to use another option for storage?

Hey <@U02DUKN1M3M>, yes to docker image and we have Docker storage, but I have a walkthrough and example ready for you!

Check <https://medium.com/the-prefect-blog/the-simple-guide-to-productionizing-data-workflows-with-docker-31a5aae67c0a|this> and the code <https://github.com/kvnkho/demos/tree/main/blogs/prefect-docker/docker_with_local_storage|here>

Feedback would be appreciated on the blog draft btw. GithubStorage will only pull the flow and not the dependencies so you need them as a Python package in the Docker image.

Thanks <@U01QEJ9PP53>! That's what I was assuming. I'm not sure that the link to the medium article is working...
