@Marvin How do I generate an API-key for Prefect Server OSS or use the admin:password string in code?

To generate an API key for Prefect Server OSS or use the

admin:password

string in code, the following resources might be helpful: 1. Generating an API Key: - To create an API key, navigate to the account icon at the bottom-left corner of the Prefect UI. - Select "API Keys" to view and manage your keys. - Click the "+" button to create a new key, provide a name and an expiration date. Remember to copy the key to a secure location as it cannot be viewed again. More details can be found in the Prefect documentation: Manage API keys. 2. Using

admin:password

in Code: - The specific use of

admin:password

in code isn't directly documented, but typically, credentials like these can be set in environment variables or configuration files for authentication purposes. - For Prefect Server OSS, you might consider using environment variables like

PREFECT_API_KEY

to securely store and access your credentials. If you have further questions or need more specific guidance, feel free to ask!

@Marvin There is no API-key button for Prefect Server. How about auth_string? How do I authenticate against my server when i am not using Cloud?

For authenticating against a self-hosted Prefect Server (OSS) rather than Prefect Cloud, here are some key points: 1. Authentication with Prefect Server OSS: - Prefect Server OSS does not use API keys like Prefect Cloud. Instead, it typically relies on environment configurations. - You can set the

PREFECT_API_URL

environment variable to point to your Prefect Server instance, such as

<http://127.0.0.1:4200/api>

. This URL should correspond to where your Prefect Server API is accessible. 2. Using `auth_string`: - The

auth_string

isn't specifically documented for Prefect Server OSS, but typically, authentication details can be passed via environment variables or configuration files. - Ensure that your server is properly configured to handle authentication if necessary, possibly using reverse proxies or other security measures. 3. Configuration: - Prefect Server can be configured using a

prefect.toml

file or environment variables. This configuration can include database connection URLs, API URLs, and other settings. For more detailed configuration, you might want to explore the Prefect documentation on self-hosting and server settings: - Prefect Self-Hosted Configuration - Prefect Server Settings If you need further assistance, feel free to ask!
