How can I deploy a flow from my mac/desktop to remote prefect server ? currently I am running

python3 flow_name.py

on the server where prefect is installed, thanks !

The easiest is to install Prefect 2.0 and just run your flow as any Python script. Then you can start the UI with:

prefect orion start

Docs on that https://orion-docs.prefect.io/getting-started/overview/ For Prefect 1.0, you would need to register a flow - docs here

we are still on prefect 1.0, to register a flow we do it from the machine where prefect server is running, is it possible to register flow from machine A to prefect server running on machine B? hope it is clear

try this https://discourse.prefect.io/t/how-to-deploy-self-hosted-server-and-register-first-flows-to-the-server-backend/85

so far I have been registering flows from prefect server where I have this config added ! I didn't know that I can use this on client machine and register flows, let me try now !

ah gotcha - sure, keep us posted

I was able to register my flow when setting the following env variables

export PREFECT__BACKEND="server"
export PREFECT__SERVER__ENDPOINT=<http://ip_address>:port

thank you very much !

nice work, thanks for the update!
