Hi, quick question: I deployed prefect server in a VM in azure and everything works fine except I cannot change the default

apollo_url

like described here: https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/server/deploy-local.html#ui-configuration I do this in `~/.prefect/config.toml`:

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

then:

prefect server start

and it still uses the default

localhost

hence I have to manually change it in the server UI. Any idea why?

Hi @Nuno Silva - which version of Prefect are you on?

0.13.8 (forgot to mention sorry)

no worries!

yes, it outputs:

{
  "server_url": "http://<correct_server_url>:4200/graphql"
}

perfect! ok so then most likely this is a caching issue; if you go to the

Home

page and click the restore button, it'll clear your local storage

I don't have that option yet, even though I running 0.13.8

oh interesting ok that's my bad i thought that went out with the last core release. in which case you have 3 options: 1. pull the

latest

or

master

tags for the UI (they should actually be the same) 2. wait till the next core release, which should be later today 3. try manually clearing your local storage by opening the chrome console and typing

localStorage.clear()

ok thanks, I'll try option 2 and 3 and ask again if needed. thank you

Yeah no problem, let me know if you run into anything else, this is still a workflow we're tweaking a bit

@nicholas latest release 0.13.8 solves the problem, that reset local storage option you mentioned works. FYI: when I did it in chrome and deleted the prefect ui cookies after changing the setting, it was defaulting to localhost again. So I cleared the cookies, opened an incognito window and did the reset local storage there and seems ok.

Interesting @Nuno Silva - thanks for the info. I'm thinking perhaps we only want to persist the decision in localstorage if it's a Cloud instance (rather than Server). I'll see if there's a better UX here

ok, sounds good, thanks.
