Create Docker machines locally on VMware Fusion and Workstation.
This driver requires VMware Workstation 14 (Windows/Linux) or VMware Fusion 10 (macOS) to be installed on your host. Earlier versions of Workstation/Fusion might still work with this driver, but it's not officially supported.
Docker machine has a builtin driver called
vmwarefusion
. The main difference between those drivers is thatvmware
also works on VMware Workstation, whilevmwarefusion
only works on VMware Fusion.
