Hi there, I want to use prefect for a small-scale personal project to automate a few python scripts. I was hoping to use a docker container with everything completely self-hosted (I am on Unraid OS) and see that prefect and prefect server are on dockerhub, but I see no actual documentation for using the dockerized version anywhere. When I pull the container down, as is, it fails to start and the only information I get in the log is the following:
|  __ \|  __ \|  ____|  ____|  ____/ ____|__   __|
           | |__) | |__) | |__  | |__  | |__ | |       | |
           |  ___/|  _  /|  __| |  __| |  __|| |       | |
           | |    | | \ \| |____| |    | |___| |____   | |
           |_|    |_|  \_\______|_|    |______\_____|  |_|

Thanks for using Prefect!!!

This is the official docker image for Prefect Core, intended for executing
Prefect Flows. For more information, please see the docs:
<https://docs.prefect.io/core/getting_started/quick-start.html>
Anyone have any idea of what I'm doing wrong? Should I be starting with prefect server instead?

Where do you want to run those automated scripts? Just locally or on AWS, GCP or Azure? We have a couple of getting started tutorials on https://medium.com/the-prefect-blog

I just have a few python scripts I want to run locally on my unraid machine to generate an sqlite database (again local). Just having trouble getting the container up and running

Have you seen the docker compose recipe we have on discourse.prefect.io? This might help
