Hello (again) I have recreated the dockers of prefect server, and for the latest version , registered flows do not appear in the UI. Is there a way to specify the tag I want to use with prefect server start?

Hi @Manuel Mourato (again) 🙂 Just double checking because first thing for server is usually to double check that flows are registering to server and not to cloud. When you register a flow, does the return URL have the cloud.prefect.io domain name in it or your server’s IP address (which if you are on local, should be localhost)?

It has localhost:

<http://localhost:8080/flow/3001cb90-f171-486c-afdf-82dba902a0ca>

Oo, yay!

@Laura Lorenz (she/her), sorry to bother again I started a local agent and tried to run the flow, but am getting this error:

[2020-05-07 22:13:36,619] ERROR - agent | Error while deploying flow: FileNotFoundError(2, 'No such file or directory')

Is there a way to see more logs than this one? It doesnt really tell me much...

Hmmm that is quite an unhelpful error eh. You can set the logs to debug level with

export PREFECT__CLOUD__AGENT__LEVEL='DEBUG'

Hello @Laura Lorenz (she/her) The issue was indeed that the flow was not in

.prefect/flows

. However, when I save a flow I am free to pick the directory in which I save. Is there anyway to tell the agent to read from a specific directory? via cmd?

Yes, when you register the flow you should add a configured

Storage

object that knows where you saved your flows (by default it looks in

~/.prefect/flows

is why I asked about that location; see https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/execution/storage_options.html#local). That being said, when you register your flow it will be saved automatically with whatever storage you configure, so you don’t need to save as a separate step! The following tutorial is actually about docker storage but I think it shows the recommended workflow well: https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/tutorial/docker.html#persisting-your-flow-with-docker-storage
