Vikram Iyer · Answer

Hey < Brad> I was wondering how you got to run the agent inside a container Can you share it here

Brad · Answer

Hey Vikram what issues are you seeing

Brad · Answer

running the ```prefect agent start docker``` worked fine for me when I also ran `prefect backend server`

Vikram Iyer · Answer

When I run a flow from the UI the agent doesn t pick up the flow Also when I checked with a `docker ps` I wasn t able to see a container running

Brad · Answer

Sounds like possibly a label issue check what labels your docker agent has vs what your flow requires in the UI
