Fleet FAQs

Question 1

What is Fleet and what does it do?

Accepted Answer

Fleet is a CLI tool and MCP server designed to manage Docker Compose applications on a single server. It automates deployment, handles encrypted secrets, configures Nginx, integrates Git/GitHub workflows, and provides health monitoring with AI-driven remote control.

Question 2

How does Fleet's AI-driven remote control work?

Accepted Answer

Fleet includes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes its operations as tools for AI models like Claude Code. This allows for natural language remote management, further enhanced by `fleet-bot`, a Telegram bot that runs Claude Code sessions.

Question 3

Fleet uses `age` encryption to secure application secrets at rest in a vault. These secrets are decrypted only on boot to a temporary filesystem (`tmpfs`) at `/run/fleet-secrets/`, ensuring they never touch the persistent disk.

What kind of Git and GitHub workflow integration does Fleet offer?

Accepted Answer

Fleet provides comprehensive Git and GitHub integration, including automated repository onboarding, branch management, committing, pushing, and creating pull requests, streamlining your entire application development and deployment workflow.

Question 5

Can Fleet automate Nginx configuration for my applications?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Fleet can automatically generate Nginx server blocks for various configurations, including reverse proxies, Single Page Applications (SPAs), and Next.js applications, simplifying web server setup and management.
