Activate "Fleet" and deploy agents - is a Fleet Server necessary?

[Elasticisti]

Hi there,

I am new to ELK.

It runs now in a small VM in our Testnetwork. Just for fun, I would like to ingest some jira logs to ELK

as I see I should use "Fleet" to deploy the agents.

As I have only one testnode, I cannot set a 2nd node as fleet server.
Is the assessment correct that only stand alone agents can be used in my case?

Thank you for a short confirmation.
