Adds an end-to-end boot test for `runServeCmd`, the main server entry point. This is the coverage milestone for #33370: `serve.go` goes from ~7% to ~64%, and `runServeCmd` itself from 0% to ~62%. The earlier PRs on this issue (#44929, #45343, #45583, #46166, #46421, #46517, #46742, #46830, #46893, #47151, #47562, #47891) extracted testable pieces out of `runServeCmd`, but the function itself stayed at 0% — it blocks on an OS signal and wires the entire server together, so the only way to cover it is to actually boot it. This PR does that. `TestRunServeCmd` (gated behind `MYSQL_TEST` + `REDIS_TEST`) boots the full server against a real migrated test MySQL and Redis, waits for `/healthz`, then cancels the command context to trigger a graceful shutdown. It covers two paths: - **Full boot with Apple MDM enabled** — a 32-byte server private key brings up the Apple MDM protocol services and the host-identity / conditional-access SCEP setup, so the boot exercises the MDM startup path as well as the core wiring, cron schedules, and HTTP server. - **Fail-fast on bad config** — an invalid Redis host-cache configuration (enabled with a non-positive TTL) aborts startup through `initFatal` and returns rather than serving, covering the Redis-init error path and the nil-pool guard. Beyond coverage, this doubles as a regression net for the ongoing `runServeCmd` slicing: a future change that breaks startup now fails this test instead of reaching a release. **One production change**, in `runServeCmd`'s shutdown `select`: it now also watches `cmd.Context().Done()`. This is inert in production — the root command runs via `Execute()` (not `ExecuteContext()`), so `cmd.Context()` is `context.Background()` and never cancels. Only the test runs the command with a cancelable context, which is how it shuts the server down without sending a real signal (a `SIGTERM` would kill the test binary). A couple of notes for reviewers: - The test uses `os.Setenv` (not `t.Setenv`) because the MySQL test helper marks the test parallel; the boot scenarios run as serial subtests so the process-global config env doesn't race. - `runServeCmd` registers metrics with the process-global Prometheus registry, which can only happen once per process, so there is a single full boot here; the error-path scenario fails before that registration. - The test DB is loaded from a schema dump that doesn't mark every data migration as applied, so the boot runs with `FLEET_UPGRADES_ALLOW_MISSING_MIGRATIONS=1`. It adds ~2s to the `cmd/fleet` (`main`) test bundle, which is well off the CI critical path. **Related issue:** Refs #33370 # Checklist for submitter - [x] Added/updated automated tests - [x] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually (verified locally: boots to /healthz, graceful shutdown, ~64% serve.go coverage) - Changes file: not applicable — internal test coverage with no user-visible behavior change <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * Improved server shutdown handling to stop cleanly when the running command’s context is canceled, not only on OS signals. * Added stronger startup validation to fail fast for invalid Redis host-cache configuration (e.g., non-positive TTL). * **Tests** * Added an end-to-end test that boots the server against real MySQL/Redis, verifies graceful startup/shutdown, and confirms fast-fail behavior for misconfiguration. <!-- 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.
Chat
The Fleet community is full of kind and helpful people. Whether or not you are a paying customer, if you need help, just reach out.
Contributing
Contributions are welcome, whether you answer questions on Slack / GitHub / LinkedIn, improve the documentation or website, write a tutorial, give a talk at a conference or local meetup, give an interview on a podcast, troubleshoot reported issues, or submit a patch. The Fleet code of conduct is on GitHub.
License
The free version of Fleet is available under the MIT license. The commercial license is also designed to allow contributions to paid features for users whose employment agreements allow them to contribute to open source projects. (See LICENSE.md for details.)
