@Marvin How do I change where prefect stores repository code when it is cloned?
m
To change where Prefect stores repository code when it is cloned, you can use the storage options provided by Prefect. Here's a brief overview: 1. Git-based Storage: Prefect supports using Git-based version control platforms. You can specify a repository URL directly in your deployment configuration. 2. Custom Storage Location: If you want to store code locally or in a specific location, you can configure Prefect to use storage blocks, such as AWS S3 or other custom storage solutions. This involves creating and referencing storage blocks in your deployment setup. 3. Private Repositories: For private repositories, you need to authenticate using credentials blocks or personal access tokens. You can reference these in the deployment configuration using a
GitRepository
object instead of a URL if you are using the Python deploy method. For more detailed information, consider checking out the Prefect documentation.

@Marvin Is there a way to tell a prefect docker work pool to use all gpus that are available on the host machine?
m
The Prefect documentation and GitHub issues do not explicitly mention a built-in way to configure a Docker work pool to utilize all available GPUs on the host machine. However, you can use Docker's native GPU support in your worker setup. When starting a Docker container, you can specify the
--gpus all
option to allow the container to access all GPUs on the host. This would need to be configured in your Docker setup rather than directly through Prefect's configuration. For more information on setting up Docker work pools, you can refer to these Prefect documentation pages: - Infrastructure Examples - Docker - Infrastructure Concepts - Work Pools If you are running into specific issues or need further assistance, it might be helpful to check or open an issue on the Prefect GitHub repository.

@Marvin how do I pass the "--gpus=all" command when prefect is running the docker container on a worker
m
To pass the
--gpus=all
option when Prefect is running a Docker container on a worker, you would need to configure the Docker infrastructure to include this option. Unfortunately, the Prefect documentation does not provide explicit details on this configuration. However, you can generally achieve this by specifying GPU options in the Docker run command or Docker Compose file used by Prefect's Docker infrastructure. Here's a general approach you might consider, although you'll need to adapt it to your specific setup: 1. Docker Compose: If you're using Docker Compose to manage your Prefect infrastructure, you can add the
--gpus=all
option under the
deploy
section for the service that requires GPU access. 2. Docker Run Command: If you're manually running Docker containers, you can include the
--gpus=all
option directly in your Docker run command. 3. Custom Docker Infrastructure: If Prefect's built-in Docker infrastructure doesn't support direct GPU options, you might need to create a custom Docker image or entrypoint script that includes the necessary GPU configurations. For further assistance, you might consider checking Prefect's GitHub issues or community forums for any related discussions or solutions. For more information on Docker infrastructure in Prefect, you can refer to the Prefect Docker Infrastructure Examples.
