@Marvin How to deploy flow with image from external repository

To deploy a Prefect flow using an image from an external repository, you can follow these steps: 1. Custom Docker Image: You can create a custom Docker image with your flow code and dependencies outside of Prefect. This image can be stored in an external Docker registry like Docker Hub. 2. Deployment Configuration: In your deployment script or

prefect.yaml

file, reference the custom Docker image directly. You won't need to include push or pull steps if the image is already available in the registry. 3. Using

flow.deploy

: Use the

flow.deploy

method to deploy your flow. Ensure your flow is defined in a Python file and include a call to

flow.deploy

with the necessary configuration for your work pool and image. 4. Push to Registry: If you need to push the image to a registry, you can set

push=True

in the deployment script. This will push the image to your specified Docker registry. 5. Run Your Script: Execute your script to deploy the flow. This process will build a Docker image containing your flow code and dependencies, then create a deployment associated with the specified work pool and image. For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the Prefect documentation on deploying with Docker. If you're interested in using cloud-provider storage for your flow code, Prefect supports fsspec-compatible storage solutions like AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, or GCP GCS.
