@Marvin, how can I run a workflow to a local prefect server?

To run a workflow on a local Prefect server, you'll need to follow these steps: 1. Start the Prefect Server: You can run a Prefect server locally using Docker. Here's a command to get you started:
Copy code
bash
   docker run -p 4200:4200 --rm <http://ghcr.io/astral-sh/uv:python3.12-bookworm-slim|ghcr.io/astral-sh/uv:python3.12-bookworm-slim> uvx prefect server start --host 0.0.0.0
This command will start the server on port 4200. 2. Set Up Your Flow: In your Python script, define your flow using the
@flow
decorator. Here's a minimal example:
Copy code
python
   from prefect import flow

   @flow
   def my_flow():
       print("Hello, Prefect!")

   if __name__ == "__main__":
       my_flow()
3. Run Your Flow: With the Prefect server running, execute your flow script. The flow will connect to the local server and run there. 4. Monitor the Flow: You can monitor the flow execution by accessing the Prefect UI at
<http://localhost:4200>
. For more detailed information, you can refer to the Prefect documentation on running local servers and this example. If you have any specific requirements or encounter issues, feel free to ask.
