Hello I am trying to set up prefect server on an Azure Ubunt

Question

Hello I am trying to set up prefect server on an Azure Ubuntu VM How do I register flows from my local machine

Kevin Kho · Answer

In your config toml on local point to the VM ``` server endpoint = YOUR MACHINES PUBLIC IP 4200 graphql ``` or set an env var ```PREFECT SERVER ENDPOINT```

Daniel Lomartra · Answer

I tried setting the environment variable in both my python venv and host machine The prefect register cli command completes successfully but no flow shows up in the UI I assume this is registering it locally

Kevin Kho · Answer

I think your UI is not configured You need this before you spin server up in the config toml ``` server server ui apollo url = ``` as seen So that the UI knows what URL to hit

Thanks for the help Kevin I did set up the config toml before spinning up the server and the UI seems to confirm that its able to see the endpoint see below screenshot I also tried opening up IP restrictions on 4200 incase that was causing an issue but with no luck

I think I figured out what s wrong As mentioned before my flows are being successfully registered just not appearing in the server UI Before spinning up this server I did some testing in prefect cloud It seems like my flows are still being registered with the cloud instance even though I am running the registration from inside a separate virtual environment Is there a way for me to unauthenticate with the cloud UI

Kevin Kho · Answer

Ah server has no authentication only cloud does for you you should do ```prefect backend server``` to change backend

Daniel Lomartra · Answer

Nice That did the trick Thanks again Kevin For future reference the environment variable does need to include the ```http ``` or else requests module throws an error

Kevin Kho · Answer

ah ok thanks for mentioning

Daniel Lomartra · Answer

As a follow up question I am using docker agent with git storage azure repos Where is the preferred place to set the git url environment variable I tried putting it in the config toml but flows don t seem to see it

Kevin Kho · Answer

If you are on server you have to use Local Secrets for that so either environment variable or config toml
