Hi everyone, might overthink something but when I pulled the docker image how do I start the server? This is what I get as a response: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'docker-compose': 'docker-compose'. Cheers, Marek

Hey @Marek Nguyen, This guide in the documentation is a great place to get started when deploying Prefect Server. You'll need
docker-compose
and
docker
to be installed, then you can use the CLI to start up Server on your local machine with
prefect server start
. You should also check out this

video walkthrough

with Laura, a livestream from last month, as she starts up Server.

Hi @Kyle Moon-Wright, thanks for your response. Yeah I read that guide but what I am unsure about is: I pulled this image from Docker https://hub.docker.com/r/prefecthq/prefect but it seems like you need docker and docker-compose inside this container to run prefect am I right? And if I’m right, whats the point in using this Docker image?
