Hi all! How do i get started with FleetDM? is it something I install on a host to have it run my FleetDM instance? or can I have it installed on an old macbook pro to have it run it there and add hosts to monitor?

There are a few components, the Fleet server binary is only supported on Linux but you can run on WSL, or some emulation on Mac I'm sure, redis and MySql are required as well but you can connect to those remotely from the Fleet server

So whats the best way to host FleetDM free?

Greetings @Garrett M There are a few guides that might help get Fleet going for your infrastructure/needs to fit in your tech stack. The Hetzner Cloud guide has some quick setups.
