Dockerized open-vmdk tools

open-vmdk tools from https://github.com/vmware/open-vmdk can create an OVA file from VMDK and an OVF template. However, it requires Linux to run.

This dockerized version allows you to use vmware's utility on any host that can run Python 3+ and docker.

Usage

Requirements

• Docker
• Python 3+
• Shell
• A VMDK image
• An OVF template (you can use the included one, if you like)
• qemu-img (optional, if vmdk conversion is required)

Example

• ./build.sh
• ./run.py -n my-virtual-machine -t ./template-hw14-bios.ovf -o /tmp -i /tmp/testsensor-disk1.vmdk
• You should have /tmp/my-virtual-machine.ova once the tool completes.
