Prefect Community

Hi people!
I'm trying to run Prefect locally inside a docker container and access the server UI through localhost. To do so, I set the Prefect Orion API Host to 0.0.0.0 (because the default host is localhost, and I can't access localhost through port forwarding from my local machine).

However, after building the deployment and applying it, it seems the change is not reflected in the Prefect server UI. I know there is something wrong but I can't spot the mistake. Is there anyone that can help? Thank you :smile:

*UPDATE:* The error in Orion UI no longer exists after I changed the API URL with this env var
```PREFECT_API_URL=http//0.0.0.0:4200/api```


You really don't need to run it in Docker because Orion is so lightweight, but of you want to check out this awesome tutorial

Oh I thought you did that already, that makes sense
