I’m also trying to set up Fleet with Render with @Benjamin Edwards article. (Not trying to dunk on you, Mr. Edwards! I appreciate the articles!) When I try to start the web service, I get “NOPERM this user has no permissions to run the ‘cluster’ command or its subcommand” from redis. Apparently Render has restricted the “cluster” command. Is there any workaround?

Ha all good. Are you using the new Render hosted Redis? Or just running redis as a private service?

I’m using the Render hosted redis.

Cool! I haven't tested with that yet as it didn't exist when I wrote the guide.

I don’t see that they give me a password anywhere. And there’s this: https://render.com/docs/redis#restricted-commands

hmm so its likely running as redis stand-alone, which fleet is compatible with. I wonder why fleet is attempting cluster mode vs standalone

Hey @Stephen Nelson are you just looking to get a quick test environment set up? Have you tried out

fleetctl preview

? If you want to get Fleet running on Render, I think it might be easiest to use the older style Redis on Render (https://render.com/docs/deploy-redis) which is what was used when we created that blog post.

I’m trying to set up fleet to manage a small home office (my parents’ laptops). I’m probably swatting a gnat with a sledgehammer, but it would be really nice to be able to query their systems while their laptops are offline.

Ah, love it!

Manual deploy seems to get us past the prepare stage. Now it’s announced it’s listening, but isn’t passing health checks or serving html. Still, I think it’s now an application use issue and not a deployment issue.
