Hi folks. We’re still trying to move to github storage from Docker, but have run into a new snag. It seems like our toml config files are no longer being picked up. We’ve always configured them at registration time as

PREFECT__USER_CONFIG_PATH=prod.toml

but

prefect.config

no longer seems to have the values from the toml file. Any idea how we can work around this?

Hi @Brian Mesick, did you store the toml inside the Docker image?

It’s unclear to me where we’d do that. We’ve been using the default Prefect images not building our own dockerfiles. Is it not possible to pull it in alongside the flow script?

Oh I was just asking where the tomy config files live. Are they on the agent already?

The live in github alongside the flow python files.

Hey @Brian Mesick -- I think current best practice here would be to • Set all the config values in the

RunConfig

via environment variables or • Copy your config into a docker image based on the prefect base image then specify that as your image via a

DockerRun

config

Yeah, that’s pretty rough since we went to this specifically to avoid having to make the image changes so frequently and this loses the ability to configure things per-environment without re-baking the image. On the upside we’re not currently doing that anyway so we can probably set these things as env vars in the

KubernetesRun

Hmm. I will set a reminder for myself to dig into this later today if I have time or tomorrow and I'll see if there's a good way to handle this.

Thanks Michael

Hey Brian, I haven't had time to look into this yet and I'm going to open an issue on Github so it doesn't get forgotten.
