Hi, I am trying to execute a flyte workflow remotely as follows

config = Config.auto(config_file="./custom_flyte_config_local.yaml")

remote = FlyteRemote(config=config, default_domain=FLYTE_DEFAULT_DOMAIN, default_project=FLYTE_DEFAULT_PROJECT)

flyte_wf = remote.fetch_workflow(name="flyte.my_wf", version="v1")

wheni specify the config file like that

# custom_flyte_config_local.yaml

admin:
  # For GRPC endpoints you might want to use dns:///flyte.myexample.com
  endpoint: dns:///host.docker.internal:30080
  authType: Pkce
  insecure: true
logger:
  show-source: true
  level: 0

the service works fine and is able to fetch the right workflow. I want to be able to specify the endpoint in a environment variable instead of using a sperate config file. Like this or by specifying the env var in the dockerfile

os.environ['FLYTE_PLATFORM_URL'] = 'dns:///host.docker.internal:30080'

config = Config.auto()

but this leads to the following error:

2023-08-18 11:31:07 _InactiveRpcError: <_InactiveRpcError of RPC that terminated with:

2023-08-18 11:31:07 The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Any ideas on why this happens? even though the variable for endpoint should have the exact same value both ways.

You should be able to use

PlatformConfig
