Hi all. I currently try to test

prefect core server

. I have an instance of prefect server () and an agent running on a remote machine (via a VPN connection). Then I set

export PREFECT__CLOUD__API=<http://myserver.edu:4200>

Finally, I run my dummy flow which contains a flow.register() at the end... The output on the command is:

Result Handler check: OK                                                                       │
Flow: <http://localhost:8080/flow/17b029f0-fb9d-4ac5-bc54-fc4102a44631>

Is this OK? The task does not show up on the UI. Anything I'm missing? Do I have to configure something else for this? My local laptops' diagnostic:

{
  "config_overrides": {},
  "env_vars": [
    "PREFECT__CLOUD__API"
  ],
  "system_information": {
    "platform": "macOS-10.14.6-x86_64-i386-64bit",
    "prefect_version": "0.10.2",
    "python_version": "3.8.2"
  }
}

And the servers' diagnostic:

{
  "config_overrides": {},
  "env_vars": [],
  "system_information": {
    "platform": "Linux-5.3.0-40-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.29",
    "prefect_version": "0.10.2",
    "python_version": "3.8.2"
  }
}

Cheers, C

Hello @Christian, At first glance, this is most likely a networking issue that has been discussed here. Several users have found a workaround that you may be able to utilize.

Ah thanks... will check it out. I am/ was a bit confused since I've seen localhost mentioned after

prefect diagnostics

quite a bit. I also cannot find a config.toml in my prefect location locally (not sure if this is optional)?

Hmm, optional custom configuration files loaded on top of the default values can be stored as

$HOME/.prefect/config.toml

. The default toml could be in your python site-packages, however it is not recommended to change these settings.

ok. will try to read up on this... I was just browsing over the config.toml file on GitHub and am a bit confused which entries (if any) are necessary to set/ overwrite for me to send a task to a remote prefect server... https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/master/server/src/prefect_server/config.toml
