Docker Machine VMware Driver for Windows 7 and above

First, please see Things you must know before README.

If this project benefits you, please star it and keep watching.

Create Docker machines locally on VMware Fusion and Workstation.

This driver requires VMware Workstation 15 Windows or VMware Fusion 11 (MacOS) to be installed on your host. Earlier versions of Workstation/Fusion might still work with this driver, but it's not officially supported. The assumable version of underlay kernel inside boot2docker changes to 5.4.

Docker machine has a builtin driver called vmwarefusion. The main difference between those drivers is that vmware also works on VMware Workstation, while vmwarefusion only works on VMware Fusion.

Installation

From a Release

The latest version of the docker-machine-driver-vmware binary is available on the GithHub Releases page. Download the the binary that corresponds to your OS into a directory residing in your PATH.

From Source

Make sure you have installed Go and configured GOPATH properly. For MacOS and Linux, make sure $GOPATH/bin is part of your $PATH for MacOS and Linux. For Windows, make sure %GOPATH%\bin is included in %PATH%.

Run the following command:

go get -u github.com/AZ-X/docker-machine-driver-vmware

There is no easy way to release a GitHub project. Finally I found one way go through among the Actions Suggestions from Marketplace. I call it fun place.

Usage

$ docker-machine create --driver=vmware default
