I think your best bet there is to query the API, where you have all the queries/mutations that the UI would use otherwise

Without the persistence layer of Prefect Cloud/Server, schedule management is entirely managed by your code.

06/27/2020, 12:24 AMI can find in the docs how to set up schedules, but I can't quite tell how to see like what's currently scheduled, or how to cancel something.

06/27/2020, 12:25 AMOr would I have to like set up a regular cron job or something if I'm not using Cloud or Server?

I think your best case would be to use Cloud for this, since you can manage everything from the UI without having to worry about hosting or docker-compose. Without a persistence layer of some sort, you're "managing" schedules purely in-process, which means you'll need to be on that server to stop the process that contains your scheduled flow.

Otherwise, runs will happen according to the schedule you lay out in your code, and there isn't really a way to interact with the code as it's running.
