Hi, I am playing with the local UI server. Is there away to specify to the agent the IP of the server to connect to? prefect backend server --help Usage: prefect backend [OPTIONS] API Switch Prefect API backend to either

server

or

cloud

Options: -h, --help Show this message and exit.

Hi Benjamin! Right now the UI is hardcoded to reference

localhost

, but we do have an issue open to expand that functionality! https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/issues/2237

Thanks Zachary for this. Well noted

changing that will update the URL the website will attempt to look for to talk to the API. If you want your

.register

to point to a new URL, you'll need to edit the

backend.toml

values to do that .. or you can achieve the same thing with envars:

import os

os.environ['PREFECT__BACKEND'] = 'server'
os.environ['PREFECT__SERVER__HOST'] = '<http://api.prefect.local>'
os.environ['PREFECT__SERVER__PORT'] = '80'
os.environ['PREFECT__SERVER_UI__HOST'] = f'<http://prefect.local>'
os.environ['PREFECT__SERVER_UI__PORT'] = '80'
