When I host the ui locally (Orion) I don't get the opportunity to create new blocks - is this integration only supported in cloud version?

Hi Nic, Blocks are available for creation in Prefect Orion -

You can create, edit, and manage blocks in the Prefect UI and Prefect Cloud. On a Prefect Orion API server, blocks are created in the server's database. On Prefect Cloud, blocks are created on a workspace.

@Christopher Boyd when going to the UI pane in my self hosted server and choosing blocks, I'm met with this picture, with no possibility of creating blocks here, or see blocks created via python

Hi Nic, Which version of Prefect Orion are you using currently? I don’t believe this should be the case

@Christopher Boyd how do i see the specific orion version? My prefect version is 2.3.1

it would be whatever image it’s running with - are you running it “locally” from your system, or through kubernetes / docker? If you are running locally, then it’s likely that 2.3.1 - I would try the latest version in a separate virtualenv to see if that produces the same problem?

that worked, I'm now met with the opportunity to create blocks

Hi Nic, just to clarify - you mean “not” or “now”? As in that worked, or did not work?

edited the message as I made a spelling mitake. I meant now, as it works now 🙂

Excellent!
