Hello, I was wondering what the recommended set up was for running the prefer core server unattended on a virtual machine. The

prefect server

CLI does not seem to support a daemonized mode. Is there some standard way to use the docker-compose config to run the core server using something like Docker Swarm?

Hi @Matt Segal - my recommendation would be to use something like

nohup

. So when starting Prefect Server it would be:

nohup prefect server start >/dev/null 2>$1 &

Thanks for the advice Nicholas. I can't say that it's my favourite method for running something on a server. I expect it will run fine though since it's been packaged so nicely. I don't think

docker-compose up

will restart a container if it crashes though. I get the impression that the Prefect Core server is really just for playing around on your local machine, rather than something that you would run in anger in a prod environment. For example, if I were to use this for my "production" workflows I would want to be able to see server logs, which are currently all written to stdout.
