Prefect Community

Is there a handy dandy environment variable I can export to tell the prefect CLI that I want it to use the 'server' backend rather than 'cloud'?

ah!  I was trying `PREFECT_BACKEND` with only one underscore

also helpful:
```export PREFECT__BACKEND="server"
export PREFECT__BACKEND__HOST="<http://apollo>"
export PREFECT__BACKEND__PORT="4200"```
change <http://apollo> and `4200` to be whatever it is locally, obviously!

then prefect is fully tied to your local
