@Marvin iim using version 0.15.13. Im trying to do this: client = Client(_api_server_=prefect_url) #where prefect_url is my self hosted prefect server on ECS cluster, not localhost. when I try to do this: flow.register(_project_name_="monolith/dev") it tries to create the flow on localhost. How can I change that to use my self deployed server?

To connect your Prefect client to a self-hosted server rather than the default localhost, you need to ensure that your

Client

is configured correctly. For Prefect version 0.15.13, you should use the

Client

class with the correct initialization parameter. Here's how you can do it: 1. Initialize the

Client

with the correct server address:

python
   from prefect import Client

   client = Client(api_server=prefect_url)  # Ensure 'api_server' is used, not '_api_server_'

2. Set the client context: You might need to ensure that your client is set to use the specified server by setting the context, especially if you encounter issues with the

register

method defaulting to localhost. Here's a reference to hosting your own Prefect server: Host a Prefect Server. If you continue to face issues, consider checking any environment variables or configurations that might be overriding your

Client

settings. Additionally, ensure your network settings allow for connections to your ECS cluster's IP address or DNS name.

hi @Emilio fyi unfortunately this marvin won't know about

oh hi @Nate! I read through the docs a little bit better and found the solution I needed, but thank you very much!
