@Marvin how can I run a prefect server using docker compose?

To run a Prefect server using Docker Compose, you can follow these steps: 1. Setup Environment Variables: Create a
.env
file in your project directory with the following content:
Copy code
bash
   PREFECT_API_URL=<http://localhost:4200/api> # or your Prefect Cloud URL
   PREFECT_API_KEY=pnu_1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz # if using Prefect Cloud
2. Start the Server: Use Docker Compose to start the Prefect server with the following command:
Copy code
bash
   docker compose up -d
3. Stream Logs: If you want to view the logs, you can use:
Copy code
bash
   docker compose logs -f
4. Stop the Server: To stop the server, execute:
Copy code
bash
   docker compose down
This setup allows you to run a Prefect server locally using Docker Compose, making it easy to manage and deploy. For more details, you can refer to the Prefect documentation or other resources you might find relevant.

When I try to access the UI, it loads and has a popup that says can’t connect to server api at 0.0.0.0/api. Have you encountered that before?

Copy code
» prefect config set PREFECT_API_URL=<http://0.0.0.0:4200/api>
Set 'PREFECT_API_URL' to '<http://0.0.0.0:4200/api>'.
try setting this
essentially you still need to tell your client side what server to talk to, and PREFECT_API_URL is how to set that
so you might have a different host eventually, but for now 0.0.0.0 should work

Thanks!
