Anna Geller · Answer

It looks like you have some custom registration logic and the environment from which you are registering the flow isn t authenticated to Prefect Cloud Can you share your registration logic from `orchestrator py` Also if you are just getting started with Prefect you may want to <https discourse prefect io t should i start with prefect 2 0 orion skipping prefect 1 0 544|start with Prefect 2 0> directly

Assaf Ben Shimon · Answer

The registration logic is simply `flow name register project name ` do I need to do anything else also I run the code from docker if that changes anything

Anna Geller · Answer

You just need to make sure your registration environment is authenticated with Prefect Cloud Perhaps you can add this environment variable to your registration Docker container and try again ```export PREFECT CLOUD API KEY= your key ```

Thanks And what if I want to run locally with prefect server Is the registration process the same

Assaf Ben Shimon · Answer

Sorry for the trouble I m new to perfect and afraid I did something wrong I want to execute flows locally and track their progress using prefect server let s take cloud out of the picture for now I have a docker image which creates the flows if I simply run it the flows are executed as expected so what s left is just orchestrating it I ve tried running a local agent from the CLI but that doesn t seem to be enough as I need to somehow register my flows so that it ll track them right Also when I run `prefect server start` a local server starts and I can see the UI but nothing updates there and I can t see my flows So what s the right way to glue these pieces together Thanks a lot in advance

Anna Geller · Answer

You re very welcome Are you already in some way committed to Prefect Server If you install and start <https orion docs prefect io getting started installation |Prefect 2 0> instead you don t have to register your flows simply running your flows locally will allow you to track them in the UI

Anna Geller · Answer

gt I ve tried running a local agent from the CLI but that doesn t seem to be enough as I need to somehow register my flows so that it ll track them right Yup exactly you start an agent with e g label dev and you attach the same label to your `flow run config` and when you then register and run your flow it will match it with the agent via a label you can also check with links to resources that will help understand various concepts

Thanks Anna Server is running agent is up flows are executing but I can t see anything on the server s UI When looking at the console I see this Any idea what s the reason I m running on an EC2 instance without any inbound or outbound traffic filtering and use port forwarding to access the server from my machine

Update I ve also tried adding the expose flag `prefect server start expose` but no change confused

Kevin Kho · Answer

Did you set something like this ``` server server ui apollo url = <http YOUR MACHINES PUBLIC IP 4200 graphql> ``` in the `config toml` before doing the `prefect server start expose` Looks really weird why it s null

Assaf Ben Shimon · Answer

Should I have Currently there is no file at `~ prefect config toml`

Anna Geller · Answer

So you spun up EC2 started Prefect Server and a local agent there and now you try to connect to the UI from your local machine correct The problem now is to ensure that you also follow all those steps on your local machine from which you try to access the UI install prefect switch backend to `server` adjust or create if not available your `~ prefect config toml` and then try accessing the UI if you still have trouble check those Discourse topics
