Create Docker machines locally on VMware Fusion and Workstation.
This driver requires VMware Workstation 14 (Windows/Linux) or VMware Fusion 10 (MacOS) to be installed on your host. Earlier versions of Workstation/Fusion might still work with this driver, but it's not officially supported.
Docker machine has a builtin driver called
vmwarefusion. The main difference between those drivers is thatvmwarealso works on VMware Workstation, whilevmwarefusiononly works on VMware Fusion.
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.
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%.
