UI says: "Add a Fleet server" while the fleet extension is running #1078

Problem description

I have installed the Fleet extension as covered by the Readme ( adding -f extensions/fleet/fleet-compose.yml to my docker compose command).

I can see the service running with docker compose ps.

Part of my confusion is that I don't grasp how the components should interact together.
My assumption is that when I go to the Kiabana UI -> Management -> Fleet I should be able to enroll an agent in Fleet right away (maybe I'm wrong). But instead, the UI asks me to "Add a Fleet server" and provides the instructions to do so manually.

My understanding is that the Fleet server is already installed through the docker compose service and Kibana should not ask me to install a server.

Is that right ? And then I should start troubleshooting the issue. Or am I mistaken in my understanding and I should really install the Fleet server following the Kibana instructions ? But then what is the Fleet service in the docker compose ?

Thank you !
