Yes, you can set up a local environment where you can switch between two Prefect server endpoints using Prefect's profiles feature. By setting different profiles, you can configure each profile with a specific API URL for the respective server endpoint. Here's a concise guide: 1. Create Profiles: Use Prefect's CLI to create different profiles for each server endpoint. 2. Set API URL: For each profile, set the
PREFECT_API_URL
to point to the desired Prefect server endpoint. 3. Switch Profiles: You can switch between these profiles to change the active server endpoint. Here's a basic example of how you might do this:
Copy code
bash
# Create a profile for server 1
prefect profile create server1
prefect profile use server1
prefect config set PREFECT_API_URL=<http://server1-endpoint>

# Create a profile for server 2
prefect profile create server2
prefect profile use server2
prefect config set PREFECT_API_URL=<http://server2-endpoint>

# Switch to server1
prefect profile use server1

# Switch to server2
prefect profile use server2
For more detailed information, you can refer to the Prefect documentation on settings and profiles and self-hosting a Prefect server.
