vmware/vcsim repository overview

vcsim is a vSphere API Mock framework powered by vmware/govmomi⁠.

Build from Dockerfile: https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/blob/master/Dockerfile.vcsim⁠

How to run:

# Print version
docker run -p 8989:8989 vmware/vcsim:latest version
Build Version: 0.28.0
Build Commit: ac1eba30
Build Date: 2022-04-27T19:49:50Z

If you omit the command (CMD) to execute, the image will run vcsim and start the simulator server listening on the localhost address and port 127.0.0.1:8989.

Alternatively, you can overwrite the default container CMD (i.e. vcsim args) with [sub-command | option].

Example how to change the listener port:

docker run -p 9090:9090 vmware/vcsim -l :9090
export GOVC_URL=https://user:[email protected]:9090/sdk GOVC_SIM_PID=1
