Resolves #42818. (I explicitly removed all checklist items.) This is the least destructing approach to solve the issue. Other approaches require like moving all Go code under a sub-directory or keeping these docs/ directories free from invalid characters. ## Problem [Publishing of Fleet's go module](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/actions/runs/23857371168/job/69554220876) is failing with the following error: ``` Run GOPROXY=proxy.golang.org go list -m github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4@v4.83.0 go: github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4@v4.83.0: reading https://proxy.golang.org/github.com/fleetdm/fleet/v4/@v/v4.83.0.info: 404 Not Found server response: not found: create zip: docs/solutions/windows/configuration-profiles/allow network connectivity during connected standby – [ACConnectivityInStandby_2, DCConnectivityInStandby_2].xml: malformed file path "docs/solutions/windows/configuration-profiles/allow network connectivity during connected standby – [ACConnectivityInStandby_2, DCConnectivityInStandby_2].xml": invalid char '–' [Truncated: too long.] ``` ## Summary Root cause The [publish go module step](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/.github/workflows/publish-go-module.yml) asks proxy.golang.org to build a module zip for the v4.X.Y tag. That build was failing on two independent, each-fatal issues — both stemming from the monorepo carrying non-Go content that violates Go module zip rules: 1. Invalid path characters — 35 tracked files with characters Go module zips forbid: en-dash – in 32 docs/solutions/windows/configuration-profiles/*.xml files (the one in your error), emoji 📜 in 2 handbook/company/legal/ files, and an apostrophe in 1 website/assets/ image. This is the literal create zip: … invalid char '–' error. 2. Source tree too large — 582 MiB tracked vs Go's hard 500 MiB limit; website/ alone is 318.7 MiB. ## Fix Added a go.mod to website/, docs/, and handbook/, turning each into a nested module that x/mod/zip omits from the published v4 module — the same pattern Fleet already uses under tools/. One move solves both: all 35 bad filenames live in those three dirs, and excluding them drops the module to 207 MiB tracked → 112 MiB zipped. Files created: - website/go.mod, docs/go.mod, handbook/go.mod (module markers, each with a comment explaining why) Verified safe: no .go files and no //go:embed references in those dirs, and go list ./... still resolves all 491 packages. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Chores** * Added standalone module configurations for documentation, handbook, and website directories. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

Open-source platform for IT and security teams with thousands of computers. Designed for APIs, GitOps, webhooks, YAML, and humans.
What's it for?
Fleet gives you a single system to secure and maintain all your computing devices over the air. You can do MDM, patch stuff, deploy software, and verify anything, all from one place, across every OS your organization uses.
Fleet works directly with data and events from the native operating system, down to the bare metal. Strong diagnostics let you investigate errors on end-user devices and collect accurate audit evidence in minutes.
Get started
You can try Fleet out for yourself, or grab time with one of the maintainers to chat.
Is it any good?
Fleet is used in production by IT and security teams managing thousands of devices. Many deployments support tens of thousands of hosts, and a few large organizations manage 400,000 or more.
Supported platforms
- Linux (all distros)
- macOS
- Windows
- Chromebooks
- iOS and Android (BYOD or corporate-owned)
- Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Google Cloud (GCP)
- Azure (Microsoft cloud)
- Data centers
- Containers (kube, etc)
- Linux-based IoT devices
Infrastructure as code
Manage your fleet with GitOps, or use the GUI, REST API, webhook events, and the fleetctl command-line tool.
Linux support
First-class support for all major distros. Linux gets the same attention and visibility as macOS and Windows.
Visibility and compliance
Fleet can report on hundreds of attributes across your devices and ships with CIS benchmarks for macOS and Windows and comprehensive operating system, hardware, and software data. Check out the table reference documentation to see what's available.
Open by design
Fleet is open source and transparent about what it can and can't see. End users can verify exactly how the agent works and what data their company collects. Fleet collects only the data needed to manage and secure devices, not private activity like keystrokes, emails, or webcams.
Good neighbors
Ready-to-use, enterprise-friendly integrations exist for Snowflake, Splunk, GitHub Actions, Vanta, Elastic Jira, Zendesk, and more. Fleet also works with tools such as Munki, Chef, Puppet, Ansible, CrowdStrike, and SentinelOne.
Lighter than air
Fleet is lightweight and modular. You can use it for MDM without using it for security, and vice versa. You can turn off features you are not using.
Free as in free
The free version of Fleet will always be free. Fleet is independently backed and actively maintained with the help of many amazing contributors.
Longevity
The company behind Fleet is founded (and majority-owned) by true believers in open source. The company's business model is influenced by GitLab (NYSE: GTLB), with great investors, happy customers, and the capacity to become profitable at any time.
Fleet Device Management's company handbook is public and open source. You can read about the history of Fleet and our commitment to improving the product.
