Hey all! We were testing out our local prefect age...

Hey all! We were testing out our local prefect agent spinned up from our EC2 instance and we were able to run most flows except for one type - flows registered with Docker storage type. I believe docker flows aren't supported by local agents... Are there any good alternatives to Docker storage type flows for containerized flow storage method that could be used to more sophisticated flows? We would like to use the local agent for most things but don't want to move to a fargate agent or something anytime soon before we try other flow storage method.

Hey @jack -- you can just run a docker agent that will run docker containers locally
As long as you have docker installed:
prefect agent docker start
should get you going!

Ah right! Does that mean I would be running a local docker agent on the EC2?

Yep!

Gotcha, will try that out 😄 Thanks a bunch @Zanie 🦸
