About:
The docker-machine-driver-vmware plugin enables Docker Machine to provision and manage Docker hosts on VMware Fusion for macOS and VMware Workstation for Windows/Linux. It acts as a bridge, allowing developers to create and control VMs using VMware's virtualization platforms through standard Docker Machine commands. This provides a robust alternative to VirtualBox for teams already invested in the VMware ecosystem.
Key Features:
  • Seamless integration with docker-machine CLI
  • Support for both VMware Fusion and Workstation
  • Efficient VM provisioning and management
  • Leverages VMware's native virtualization performance
Use Cases:
  • Developing Docker applications on macOS using VMware Fusion instead of VirtualBox
  • Automating Docker host creation in VMware Workstation environments
  • Running Docker in a VMware-based local development environment
Alternatives:
  • docker-machine-driver-virtualbox – VirtualBox driver is cross-platform and open-source, but VMware drivers often provide better performance and stability on macOS
  • docker-machine-driver-parallels – Parallels driver is another premium alternative for macOS, competing directly with VMware Fusion
