Configuration Options

Looking for the latest Prefect 2 release? Prefect 2 and Prefect Cloud 2 have been released for General Availability. See https://docs.prefect.io/ for details.

A full list of configuration options can be seen in the Prefect config.toml. To update configuration settings you can update them in ./prefect/config.toml or by setting environment variables.

For more on configuration, you can also see the Prefect Core configuration docs.

Connecting to a different API Endpoint

If you are running Prefect Server, you can update the server.host and server.port config settings to point to a new API endpoint.

[server]
host = ...
port = ...

As with all configuration options, you can update these using environment variables as well:

PREFECT__SERVER__HOST
PREFECT__SERVER__PORT

Running Prefect with a pre-existing postgres database

If you are running Prefect Server and have a postgres instance set up elsewhere then providing a server.database.connection_url or server.database.host will allow you to connect to it:

[server.database]
connection_url = ...
host= ...

The connection_url format is:

postgresql://username:password@host:port/database_name
