Hi all, I’m the Technical Director of the Rolling Deck to Repository Program (rvdata.us) we are 15 years into our program this year will be rebuilding out of a 15-year-old workflow. I plan on using Prefect 3 running on a local server instance assuming it works well with a group. I’m sure I’ll be asking questions on here over time. by the way, we will be looking for a level three system designer programmer python developer so hit me up if interested

hey @Dru Clark - welcome! catjam happy to help as things come up the only required setup (I can think of) for sharing a prefect server would be network access. there's no concept of a user / RBAC in oss prefect, but you can namespace deployments and work pools and things like that to avoid stepping on each others toes

The reason I mentioned that is we set up a previous prefect version 2 and tried to test it with our group but no one else could see my runs, and a coworker couldn’t trigger his runs to show up in the GUI. I have since switched to prefect 3 and moved from the built-in database to using postgres. This is all on my local laptop, so I haven’t been able to test it with the group what does this sound about right?
oh, and thanks for the welcome!

sure thing 🙂 yeah here's what I imagine could happen • you (or whoever the devops person / admin is) run a server someplace (some machine, VM, k8s etc) that can talk to your postgres db • expose your server as needed so that your group can set
PREFECT_API_URL=<https://your-domain/api>
on their machines and then run work against the server / access the UI
if you have specific problems doing that, feel free to troubleshoot here!
