To deploy a flow on your local server without using Docker in Prefect 3.x, you can follow these general steps: 1. Write Your Flow: Ensure your flow is defined in a Python file. 2. Configure Deployment: Instead of using Docker, you can use a
prefect.yaml
file to define your deployment configuration. This file can be placed in your project directory and should include details about how and where to run the flow. You can specify local execution by configuring the appropriate infrastructure block. 3. Deploy Locally: Use the Prefect CLI to deploy the flow without building a Docker image. You can run the deployment using the command:
Copy code
bash
   prefect deploy --prefect-file path/to/your_prefect.yaml
This command will utilize the configuration specified in your
prefect.yaml
file. For more detailed guidance, you might want to check the Prefect Documentation on deploying flows without Docker. If you're looking for an example of running a local process worker, you might find this example helpful. It demonstrates running a Prefect server locally and executing flows without Docker.
