@Marvin How to setup Prefect on a cluster of servers?
m
Oops, it seems like there was a hiccup—possibly the digital equivalent of a robot's coffee break—while I was trying to gather information about setting up Prefect on a cluster of servers. Let me fix that and try again! Setting up Prefect on a cluster of servers involves using either self-hosted solutions or Prefect Cloud. The documents provided insights into both Prefect 2.x and 3.x setups: 1. Prefect 2.x: - You can configure a Prefect server instance by setting the API URL using the command:
Copy code
shell
      prefect config set PREFECT_API_URL="<http://your-server-address:4200/api>"
- Run the Prefect server using:
Copy code
shell
      prefect server start
- This runs both the webserver and UI. Make sure you've set up authentication if connecting to Prefect Cloud. More details can be found in the Prefect 2.x hosting guide. 2. Prefect 3.x: - Prefect 3.x supports databases like SQLite for simple setups and PostgreSQL for more robust external setups. - To automatically provision serverless cloud resources, use the
prefect work-pool create
CLI command, which requires the appropriate IAM permissions if using AWS. More details can be found in the Prefect 3.x deployment guide. Unfortunately, the GitHub issues search did not work out, possibly because it forgot its password. But with the links above, you'll be able to dive deeper into the documentation for more detailed instructions. Happy clustering!
