ok I am not proficient at reading code but this seems to indicate that the Fleet port number is hard coded, is that correct?

// Server

man.addConfigString("server.address", "0.0.0.0:8080",

"Fleet server address (host:port)")

Lines 438> from here- https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/server/config/config.go

In config.yml

server:
  address: 127.0.0.1:443

for example

@Mystery Incorporated has it right. You can set it in the config.yml as they mentioned, or you can set an environment variable

FLEET_SERVER_ADDRESS

. See https://fleetdm.com/docs/deploying/configuration for more about configuring Fleet.

ok thanks for the extra info. Please, please please please tell me where the config files for Fleet go. I have literally read that page on the config files 8 times, and I accept that this detail could be there, but I cannot find it. I know I’m verging on being rude, but I have spent hours looking for answers before making any post in here- my failure is not for lack of trying.

You pass the path to the config file in the

fleet serve

command (https://fleetdm.com/docs/deploying/configuration#using-a-yaml-config-file). Like

fleet serve --config /etc/fleet.yml

ah, that’s the missing link, thank you

Glad it helps!
