Prefect Community

Hello,

I have installed Prefect 1.4.0 on a Minikube instance using Helm. I am providing my own values.yaml file and setting the prefectConfig section to switch the backend to server. However, the graphql deployment config.toml still shows backend cloud once deployed. What am i missing here?

Thanks!

I am thinking now that it's not supposed to work like i tried. It's there a way to switch to backend server when installing with Helm?

The backend should always be Server for the Helm chart? Are you using  <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/server/tree/master/helm/prefect-server> ?

<@U01CEUST9B5> Yes, this is the chart i am using. If i run prefect config inside the graphql pod i see "backend": "cloud".

The backend setting only applies to the Prefect client i.e. your end user

It’s not relevant in the GraphQL server which is why it’s not modified.

Sounds like perhaps the `prefectConfig` is not being populated there as intended (you should be able to override it), but shouldn’t have any affect.

Oh, ok, i understand. Indeed, it's not being populated according to what i set inside values.yaml.
