This repository contains a Dockerfile and an environment with Poetry that can be used to deploy a self-hosted Prefect server, considering your env vars are configured in AWS Systems Manager. Besides, the server has basic auth, that is, you must authenticate using an username and a password.
To effectively make the deploy, run the Dockerfile in an infrastructure in AWS ECS or similar. It is advisable to integrate the Dockerfile run in a CI/CD pipeline with build and deploy stages.
The necessary env vars are:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_IDAWS_REGIONAWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEYPREFECT_API_DATABASE_CONNECTION_URLPREFECT_API_URLPREFECT_RUNNER_HEARTBEAT_FREQUENCYPREFECT_RUNNER_ENABLEPREFECT_RUNNER_MISSED_POOLS_TOLERANCEPREFECT_RUNNER_PROCESS_LIMITPREFECT_RUNNER_POOL_FREQUENCYPREFECT_SERVER_API_HOST = 0.0.0.0PREFECT_SERVER_API_PORT = 80PREFECT_SERVER_API_AUTH_STRING(must be in the format<username>:<password>)
Each description of the PREFECT_ variables is present in the references:
- https://docs-2.prefect.io/latest/api-ref/prefect/settings/
- https://docs-2.prefect.io/latest/guides/settings/
To authenticate in the API, you must configure in the client an env var called PREFECT_API_AUTH_STRING that must have the same value as the PREFECT_SERVER_API_AUTH_STRING server variable, and the env var PREFECT_API_URL with the same value as the server's.
