is

PREFECT_SERVER__GRAPHQL_URL

the right env variable for the UI docker image? it seems to be the one used in the docker compose file but when ran outside of docker (so not on localhost), it doesn’t seem to be working 😕

Hi @emmanuel - are you running the UI from the new repo or from an older version of Server?

from

prefecthq/ui:latest

Gotcha @emmanuel - what are you trying to do?

well… simply set the proper graphql endpoint which is not localhost in my deployment?!?

Ah I see -

VUE_APP_SERVER_URL

is the correct environment variable; the reason it's not updating the default in your UI is that the UI needs to be rebuilt when environment variables are updated

right… so this:

PREFECT_SERVER__GRAPHQL_URL: ${GRAPHQL_URL:-<http://localhost:4200/graphql>}

in

ui:
    image: "prefecthq/ui:${PREFECT_UI_TAG:-latest}"
    ports:
      - "${UI_HOST_PORT:-8080}:8080"
    command: "/intercept.sh"
    environment:
      PREFECT_SERVER__GRAPHQL_URL: ${GRAPHQL_URL:-<http://localhost:4200/graphql>}
    networks:
      - prefect-server
    restart: "always"
    depends_on:
      - apollo

from

prefect/cli/docker-compose.yml

is meaningless for the moment?

That's correct @emmanuel - I think we kept that for backwards compatibility with the old version of Server.

I see…

I'm going to open a ticket for the UI to have a more concrete way of setting a default graphql endpoint

that would be quite useful

In the meantime, if you want to update the

VUE_APP_SERVER_URL

in your

.env

file, you can run

npm install

and

npm run build

on the repo to rebuild the application with your new endpoint

That’s fine I am in no rush since this is meant to be tried/poced in September/Q4

Creating it as we speak 🙂
