This Discourse topic is meant to be used as a comprehensive list of resources pointing you to the right documentation or a tutorial. Depending on a different cloud provider or on-premise infrastructure requirements, you may need a different way of deploying Prefect 2.0.
Prefect 2.0 was designed to be a lightweight product that can simultaneously be used as an ephemeral orchestration API for local development (with embedded SQLite database), as well as a product that can scale to massive workloads when running it in a distributed fashion e.g. with Cloud 2.0.

These instructions are accurate as of Prefect 2.0b5
Create a VM on Cloud Provider of Choice
Open port 4200 ingress on the VM from 0.0.0.0/0 (all traffic) as well as HTTP in.
pip install prefect 2.0
Set the UI_API_URL with :
prefect config set PREFECT_ORION_UI_API_URL="http://<external-ip>:4200/api"
Start Orion with:
prefect orion start --host 0.0.0.0
From local machine, configure to hit the API with:
prefect config set PREFECT_API_URL="http://<external-ip>:4200/api"
The remote UI will…

[Paco_Ibañez] @Paco_Ibañez: Hello! I have being exploring Orion this week and I have put together a docker-compose to run Prefect 2.0 locally. I have tested it on mac and linux. The script runs prefect server, postgres, a docker agent, and minio to store flows. The start script configures a work queue and an example flow is included. Sharing in case someone finds it useful: https://github.com/fraibacas/prefect-orion

I’m trying to spin up a local prefect orion server for testing/development.
here’s the compose file I’ve come up with:
version: "3.7"
services:
postgres-orion:
image: "postgres:11"
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: ${POSTGRES_USER}
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}
POSTGRES_DB: ${POSTGRES_DB}
volumes:
- postgres-orion-volume:/var/lib/postgresql/data
networks:
- prefect-orion
restart: "always"
command:
- "postgres"
- "-c"
…
Remember that there is an always-free tier - you can sign up and test out the platform. No trial accounts and no credit card are required.

thanks for the list of resources, it helped me get started on my experiment trying to self host Prefect on Google Compute Engine with terraform.
here’s a link to my repo if anyone’s interested: GitHub - VeraZab/elt-template: with terraform, GCP, Prefect and dbt
