Docker Machine VMWare Workstation Driver

This is a plugin for Docker Machine allowing to create Docker hosts locally on VMWare Workstation

This as placeholder and collaboration point to add a vmware workstation driver. This is reusing part of the code from the fusion driver bundled with docker machine(as both have the same executable) and adding some code from Packer vmware driver to detect the location of the files on windows.

As the title says this is still WIP and im working to add functionality listed on the TODO list, i accept suggestions.

TODO

• drivers/vmwareworkstation/workstation.go: Rework file for vmware workstation
• add windows support
• add cmd/machine-driver-vmwareworkstation.go
• Add Linux/OSX support
• Add dhcplease file discovery on windows
• Add tests cases
• Create makefile
• Add docs/drivers/vm-workstation.md

Requirements

• Windows 7+ (for now)
• Docker Machine 0.5.0+
• VMWare Workstation

Installation

The latest version of docker-machine-driver-vmwareworkstation binary is available on the "Releases" page.

Usage

Official documentation for Docker Machine is available here.

To create a VMWare Workstation virtual machine for Docker purposes just run this command:

$ docker-machine create --driver=vmwareworkstation dev

Available options:

• --vmwareworkstation-boot2docker-url: The URL of the boot2docker image.
• --vmwareworkstation-disk-size: Size of disk for the host VM (in MB).
• --vmwareworkstation-memory-size: Size of memory for the host VM (in MB).
• --vmwareworkstation-cpu-count: Number of CPUs to use to create the VM (-1 to use the number of CPUs available).
• --vmwareworkstation-ssh-user: SSH user
• --vmwareworkstation-ssh-password: SSH password

The --vmwareworkstation-boot2docker-url flag takes a few different forms. By default, if no value is specified for this flag, Machine will check locally for a boot2docker ISO. If one is found, that will be used as the ISO for the created machine. If one is not found, the latest ISO release available on boot2docker/boot2docker will be downloaded and stored locally for future use. Note that this means you must run docker-machine upgrade deliberately on a machine if you wish to update the "cached" boot2docker ISO.

This is the default behavior (when --vmwareworkstation-boot2docker-url=""), but the option also supports specifying ISOs by the http:// and file:// protocols.

Environment variables and default values:

CLI option	Environment variable	Default
--vmwareworkstation-boot2docker-url	WORKSTATION_BOOT2DOCKER_URL	Latest boot2docker url
--vmwareworkstation-cpu-count	WORKSTATION_CPU_COUNT	1
--vmwareworkstation-disk-size	WORKSTATION_DISK_SIZE	20000
--vmwareworkstation-memory-size	WORKSTATION_MEMORY_SIZE	1024
--vmwareworkstation-ssh-user	WORKSTATION_SSH_USER	B2DUser
--vmwareworkstation-ssh-password	WORKSTATION_SSH_PASSWORD	B2DPass

Development

Build from Source

If you wish to work on VMWare Workstation Driver for Docker machine, you'll first need

• Go installed (version 1.5+ is required).
  • Make sure Go is properly installed, including setting up a GOPATH.
• MSYS
  • Make We well need to use pacman to install make
• Currently build only works on Windows (WIP to get ti work on other platforms)

Run these commands to build the plugin binary:

$ go get -d github.com/pecigonzalo/docker-machine-vmwareworkstation
$ cd $GOPATH/github.com/pecigonzalo/docker-machine-vmwareworkstation
$ make

After the build is complete, bin/docker-machine-driver-vmwareworkstation binary will be created. If you want, copy it to the ${GOPATH}/bin/.
