Install Prefect Environment - Poetry Commands

This is the same as the Prefect Installation, without using the justfile taskrunner. It makes the relationship between env variables and Prefect DB location and API more explicit.

brew install pipx just python@3
pipx install poetry

git clone https://github.com/mahiki/PrefectInterfaces.jl PrefectInterfaces

cd PrefectInterfaces/prefect

poetry env use 3.11
poetry install

# open a new terminal to run the prefect server
export PREFECT_HOME=./prefecthome
export PREFECT_SERVER_API_PORT="4300"
export PREFECT_PROFILES_PATH="./profiles.toml"
poetry run prefect server start

Now initialize the Prefect environment by registering some Blocks. We can establish a "main" and "dev" environment by starting another prefect server at a different PREFECT_SERVER_API_PORT and PREFECT_HOME.

Back to the first terminal session in PrefectInterfaces/prefect folder.

export PREFECT_HOME=./prefecthome
export PREFECT_API_URL="http://127.0.0.1:4300/api"
export PREFECT_PROFILES_PATH="./profiles.toml"

# register some blocks
PREFECT_ENV="main" poetry run prefect block register --file src/blocks/str_prefect_env.py
poetry run prefect block register --file src/blocks/fs_willowdata.py
poetry run prefect block register --file src/blocks/secret_necromancer.py

You should now be able to see the registered blocks, and settings in the Dashboard UI:

http://127.0.0.1:4300/blocks

http://127.0.0.1:4300/settings

# from the command line you can list the blocks and inspect them.
poetry run prefect block ls
