In your config.toml on local, point to the VM
Copy code
[server]
endpoint = "YOUR_MACHINES_PUBLIC_IP:4200/graphql" Copy code
PREFECT__SERVER__ENDPOINTd

I think your UI is not configured. You need this before you spin server up in the config.toml
Copy code
[server]
[server.ui]
apollo_url = "<http://YOUR_MACHINES_PUBLIC_IP:4200/graphql>"d

06/01/2022, 2:27 PMThanks 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.

06/01/2022, 2:33 PMI 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?

Ah server has no authentication, only cloud does for you, you should do:
Copy code
prefect backend serverd

For future reference, the environment variable does need to include the

06/01/2022, 3:00 PMAs 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.

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