  • go install from github via https possible?
    1 project | /r/golang | 11 Nov 2023
    I'm trying to install a VMware go module from github called govmoni (https://github.com/vmware/govmomi). The instructions on the project's page on github say use "go get", but "get" is now a retired subcommand. If I try to use "go install" in place of "go get", then I get asked for https username & password for github. github no longer allows usernames and passwords for https (https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/about-remote-repositories#cloning-with-https-urls). I swear there should be a special place in hell for people that make changes incompatible with google search results. I can git clone and so on via https without a problem so I'm not clear why go has a problem.

  • Reboot VMs With a Script
    1 project | /r/vmware | 3 Oct 2022
    There are command line utilities for some tasks in vmware, like govc. That will enable you to do simple enough scripts to do things like that.
  • Can't seem to get TIG stack working, what's the alternate ?
    3 projects | /r/vmware | 2 Oct 2022
    In general monitoring, not specifically for vmware. Icinga2 have a module for vmware monitoring too, and it can be integrated with influxdb and grafana for extra visualization. I've used also govc in scripts to get some particular VM metrics to see them with influx and grafana
  • Programmatically get list of VM names and IP's from a standalone ESXi server?
    3 projects | /r/vmware | 22 Jul 2022
    VMware itself offers a lot of bindings for their APIs; you can consult their Github org and their list of public repositories for the open source ones, for example for Go or Python.
  • Get File From Non-Networked VM
    1 project | /r/vmware | 8 Jun 2022
    If vmtools is installed and running, use govc to copy the file out directly. Don’t recall the precise subcommand - probably guest.something
  • get vmdk file info via cli?
    1 project | /r/vmware | 13 Apr 2022
    I'm using govc (Github) for these tasks.
