could you move the traceback to the thread here to keep the main channel a bit cleaner

there are a couple of issues here 1 `ModuleNotFoundError No module named root ` do you run your container as a root user this results in a different Prefect directory 2 `ModuleNotFoundError` indicates that some modules are not packaged correctly check for more info on how to approach it 3 Generally to trigger flow runs as Docker containers it s enough to start a docker agent `prefect agent docker start` Prefect will then automatically deploy your flows as Docker containers no need to do it manually For more check out
