@Marvin How do I store profile configs in .prefect/profiles.toml ? Give me an example of a profiles.toml

Prefect profiles are used to manage different environment configurations, and they are stored in a

profiles.toml

file located by default at

~/.prefect/profiles.toml

. This file allows you to switch between different environments, such as a local Prefect server and a production environment. You can configure the path to this file using the

PREFECT_PROFILES_PATH

environment variable. Here's an example of what a

profiles.toml

file might look like:

toml
[default]
api_url = "<http://localhost:4200>"

[production]
api_url = "<https://api.prefect.io>"

In this example, there are two profiles:

default

and

production

. Each profile specifies a different

api_url

setting. You can switch between these profiles using Prefect's CLI commands. For more details, you can refer to the Prefect documentation on settings and profiles.

Running

prefect profile ls

shows an empty list of profiles.

It seems there are no specific issues related to

prefect profile ls

returning empty results in the Prefect GitHub repository. However, let's ensure that your

profiles.toml

file is correctly formatted and located in the expected directory. Here’s a checklist to troubleshoot the issue: 1. File Location: Ensure that the

profiles.toml

file is located at

~/.prefect/profiles.toml

. You can verify this by running:

bash
   echo $PREFECT_PROFILES_PATH

If this environment variable is set, make sure the file is in the specified path. 2. File Format: Ensure the file is correctly formatted. Here is an example structure:

toml
   [default]
   api_url = "<http://localhost:4200>"

   [production]
   api_url = "<https://api.prefect.io>"

3. Active Profile: Ensure that there is an active profile. You can activate a profile using:

bash
   prefect profile use <profile-name>

4. CLI Commands: Use Prefect's CLI commands to manage profiles. You can create or inspect profiles using:

bash
   prefect profile create <profile-name>
   prefect profile inspect <profile-name>

If everything seems correct and the issue persists, consider reaching out to the Prefect community or checking for any updates in their documentation.

The correct keys would be :

active = "default"

[profiles.default]
PREFECT_SERVER_ALLOW_EPHEMERAL_MODE = "true"
PREFECT_API_DATABASE_CONNECTION_URL = "sqlite+aiosqlite:///:memory:"
PREFECT_API_URL = "<http://127.0.0.1:4201/api>"

[profiles.remote-docker]
PREFECT_SERVER_ALLOW_EPHEMERAL_MODE = "true"
PREFECT_API_URL = "<http://prefect:4200/api>"
