My config toml looks as follows ``` server host = endpoint = backend = server ```

There are several ways how you can configure that CLI ```prefect backend server``` This will update the `~ prefect backend toml` file to server as well Using an environment variable ```export PREFECT BACKEND= server ``` In a Kubernetes YAML manifest When deploying to Kubernetes you can do You need to add the following environment variables ``` env name PREFECT BACKEND value server name PREFECT CLOUD AGENT AUTH TOKEN value name PREFECT CLOUD API value <http some ip 4200 graphql> paste your GraphQL Server endpoint here```

In this case I was able to get it running and the issue was that I did not have a tenant in Prefect Server However now when I try to register a flow I get a HTTPConnectionPool Error I tried increasing the timeout but no luck I believe it is an issue with our company proxy Is there a way to provide prefect with proxy authentication information

I figured it out Adding the server to the NO PROXY environment variable fixed this issue
