Hello all, I'm having some trouble deploying prefect to a remote server in aws. After I call flow.register() that succeeds, but the flow never shows up in the UI on the remote server, are there any extra steps I need to take to register on a remote host?

Hi @Will Milner, taking a look now!

it seems that there is an issue connecting to the core server, all requests are coming back as connection refused. I checked the logs for the core server and it's running fine, both are on the same host

It sounds like either your registration step or your UI may be pointed at the incorrect endpoint. Can you confirm that you ran

prefect backend server?

I did run prefect backend server. Did some more digging and the issue I'm having is what's discribed in this issue - https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/issues/2237

Okay, solid-- thank you! And if I'm understanding correctly, all of your services (UI, Hasura, Postgres, etc) are running on the same instance? If that's the case, I'd anticipate

localhost

endpoints doing the trick-- just trying to get the lay of the land on your setup.

they are all running on the same instance, it's an aws linux instance if that makes a difference

Okay, gotcha. CCing @nicholas in case this is an obvious UI issue I'm missing.

Hi @Will Milner - you'll need to set the graphql endpoint for the UI before you spin up the services. You can set that in your

~/.prefect/config.toml

file like this:

# ~/.prefect/config.toml
[server]
    [server.ui]
    graphql_url = "<http://your_ec2_endpoint.com:4200/graphql|your_ec2_endpoint.com:4200/graphql>"

or by setting the environment variable on the machine:

export PREFECT__SERVER__UI__GRAPHQL_URL="<http://your_ec2_endpoint.com:4200/graphql|your_ec2_endpoint.com:4200/graphql>"

Thanks for the answer, Nicholas! It's also worth noting that you'll need to run Prefect

0.10.3

or higher to take advantage of that.

👍 that worked thanks! Is there any documentation that goes over each config setting we can edit? digging around the git repo I found this https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/master/server/src/prefect_server/config.toml but that referred to the config variable under the category

services

instead of

server

Great! We're still working on expanding the configuration documentation but for now you can reference this config (different from the one you posted) for the defaults that exist. Sorry for the confusion there, the config you referenced is for the initial build of the images, rather than the runtime configuration.
