Would anyone be interested in a web app for managing bare metal/kvms? Details in comments.
On the other hand, for VMWare I decide to use their API. For this I'd look at the Python libraries for VMWare (see [here](https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi)) and start reading the documentation. I'd write simple scripts that do the things I want to do. There are some great [code samples](https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python) to even get you started.

Programmatically get list of VM names and IP's from a standalone ESXi server?
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.

go install from github via https possible?
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.
- govc, CLI for vCenter. Script to log in without showing or saving password.
- Scheduling power down of all hosts & vCenter in home lab.

Reboot VMs With a Script
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 ?
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

Get File From Non-Networked VM
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?
I'm using govc (Github) for these tasks.
