Prefect Community

Hi everyone, I’m working on setting up a self-hosted Prefect server on a TrueNAS Scale server with PorgresSQL installed. Would it be better to install it in a Docker container, or is a Linux VM a more suitable choice? Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

Hi Ilya, IMHO you could use either! If you do end up choosing docker, we're working on bringing this <https://github.com/rpeden/prefect-docker-compose|Docker Compose> example up-to-speed with Prefect 3, so stay tuned for that (there's a few outdated resources in the current example, so avoid using it for now). In the meantime you can follow along with <https://docs.prefect.io/v3/manage/self-host|this guide to get started>.

You'll also find <https://docs.prefect.io/v3/deploy/daemonize-processes|this guide> handy whenever it comes time to daemonize your Prefect worker processes.
