Still pretty new to Prefect… I wonder if there is a way to start a fresh local server without docker and docker-compose?

Hi @Dinu Gherman yes currently the docker-compose method is the only deployment our team supports (we are actively exploring more deployment options). Keep in mind that since both the server and UI repos are open source you can always spin them up directly without running in docker (note: for postgres and hasura in the server repo it is still recommended to use their respective docker images)
