Hi everyone, I was wondering what configuration is required to not see the below error. So, by default the

PREFECT_SERVER__GRAPHQL_URL

is set to http://localhost:4200/graphql but I want to change it some other URL. How can I achieve this?

hi @Vikram Iyer - you'll need to modify your configuration file at

~/.prefect/config,toml

(on whichever machine you're hosting Prefect Server) to look like this:

[server]  
  [server.ui]
  graphql_url = "<http://YOUR_MACHINES_PUBLIC_IP:4200/graphql>"

Thanks @nicholas. What happens if all the services are running in containers on a server which is not accessible via public IP? Can we not point it to

apollo

server's container? Something like, (containers are in the same network)

[server]  
  [server.ui]
  graphql_url = "<http://apollo-container:4200/graphql>"

Unfortunately that won't work because your local browser is what's trying to access that API; if the API isn't available in the network your browser has access to, your UI will never be able to connect.

Oh! Is there any solution to this kind of problem? Also, would this affect the flow runs or just that the UI wont be working?

This'll just impact the UI, flow runs should operate as expected. There aren't any straightforward solutions but I know a few people have successfully used proxy/custom auth layers to make it work. Unfortunately that's not something we support so I won't be able to help much there

Sure, Nicholas. Thanks. I am thinking of some form of tunnelling as well. However, would it be asking too much to ask for people who have accomplished what you said above?

Hey Vikram, glad you got that working!
