Documentation wrong? I get Flow.deploy() got an unexpected keyword argument 'dockerfile'

[martin-amz-advertise]

Prefect version: 3.6.5

On https://docs.prefect.io/v3/how-to-guides/deployments/deploy-via-python#how-to-deploy-flows-with-python it states:

If you want to write and use your own Dockerfile, you can do so by passing a dockerfile parameter to flow.deploy.

But when I pass dockerfile to deploy() like:

    flow.from_source(
            source=git_source,
            entrypoint=entrypoint,
        ).deploy(
            ...
            dockerfile="../Dockerfile")

I get: TypeError: Flow.deploy() got an unexpected keyword argument 'dockerfile'

Hey @martin-amz-advertise! You are right that the documentation is incorrect. Instead, you'll want do do something like this:

  from prefect.docker import DockerImage

  flow.from_source(
      source=git_source,
      entrypoint=entrypoint,
  ).deploy(
      ...
      image=DockerImage(
          name="my-image:latest",
          dockerfile="../Dockerfile",
      )
  )

I'll update the example in the docs to be correct. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
