I'm seeing this graphql:

Copy code

mutation {
  create_api_key(input: { user_id: <user_id>, name: "my-api-key" }) {
    key
  }
}

but I'm not sure where to get the user_id from (on a self hosted machine).

trying to connect to the graphql server

prefect agent local start --api IP_ADDRESS

triggers:

Copy code

...
line 153, in _get_auth_tenant
    raise ValueError("You have not set an API key for authentication.")
ValueError: You have not set an API key for authentication.

There are no API keys in the open source Prefect Server — there’s no authentication built in.

Have you set

prefect backend server

on your agent’s machine?

oops, it appears that got set incorrectly. retried and receiving:

Copy code

[2022-10-04 18:40:12,679] INFO - agent | Registering agent...

and hang. No agents appear to be popping up on the web console.

specifically I tried:

prefect agent local start --api http://<IP_ADDR>

Ah, ok. Looks like you need to do:

Copy code

prefect agent local start --api http://<ADDR>:4200

OK, I think this is all set. Thank you Michael.
