As of Rancher v2.5, [Fleet]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.6/en/deploy-across-clusters/fleet) comes preinstalled in Rancher, and as of Rancher v2.6, Fleet can no longer be fully disabled. However, the Fleet feature for GitOps continuous delivery may be disabled using the `continuous-delivery` feature flag.
To enable or disable this feature, refer to the instructions on [the main page about enabling experimental features.]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.6/en/installation/options/feature-flags/)
Environment Variable Key | Default Value | Description
---|---|---
`continuous-delivery` | `true` | This flag disables the GitOps continuous delivery feature of Fleet. |
If Fleet was disabled in Rancher v2.5.x, it will become enabled if Rancher is upgraded to v2.6.x. Only the continuous delivery part of Fleet can be disabled. When `continuous-delivery` is disabled, the `gitjob` deployment is no longer deployed into the Rancher server's local cluster, and `continuous-delivery` is not shown in the Rancher UI.
