Add support for VMWare #32

Closed cawilliamson closed 5 years ago

Hey folks!

I know this is quite against the spirit of open source but I think you would reach a wider business audience by supporting VMWare for your images.

Hi,

I don't have any problem adding support for VMWare for ideological reasons.

What needs to be solved is how to produce the images since it requires a VMWare license and infrastructure to do the build.

I think as a good first step would be for you to add the support if you are willing to do the work. It's not terribly hard and I can guide you through it if you want. It should take half a day or so. Once that's done we can start thinking on how to automate the builds.

@cawilliamson Master supports vmware. I believe this issue can be closed.
