Hi @SirMuffington
Apologies I am not following I think we need to back up a bit I may have made an assumption... I did not realize you are actually trying to install the Fleet Server itself... which is a particular policy / type of elastic agent ... I thought you were just trying to install the normal agent to collect / logs metrics etc. after you already. had a fleet server...
Installing the Fleet server itself has a specific set of install instructions.
So a couple questions to confirm ...
What does that mean.....
Do you have a self managed Elasticsearch and Kibana Running with Authentication and TLS enabled and the version is 8.5.1? i.e. all the prerequisites? here
And next you want to install a Fleet Server (elastic-agent with the fleet server policy? Is that what you are trying to accomplish?
I just followed the in the Docs below and in Kibana and installed and connected the fleet server immediately took about 5 mins...
If you want to install your own fleet server you need to follow the instructions here
Are those the instructions you followed? Did you use the Quickstart or Advanced ... notice that it show installing with the tar.gz and if you follow the steps it should give the correct commands to run.
So to help I will need to know what you have exactly what steps you followed.
Here is what I did .. I just copied the commands from Kibana then ran them and it installed and connected. It will not like it if you already have an agent running you will want to uninstall that and install with this command (you can then later add other policies to this agent)
Note this is on an Elasticsarch / Kibana 8.5.2 on Ubuntu 20.04 , Default Setup with Self Signed Certs
curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats/elastic-agent/elastic-agent-8.5.2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
tar xzvf elastic-agent-8.5.2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd elastic-agent-8.5.2-linux-x86_64
sudo ./elastic-agent install \

Elastic Agent will be installed at /opt/Elastic/Agent and will run as a service. Do you want to continue? [Y/n]:Y

Successfully enrolled the Elastic Agent.
Elastic Agent has been successfully installed.
I did not get any messages about generating self signed cert...
So let me know the exact steps you are taking, show the exact commands and what is not working... and perhaps me or someone else can help
