Configuring for deployment as a "Virtual Appliance"

[Ken Mayer]

I'm using vagrant to build a box (from velocity42/xenial64) that I can then wrap up as a "virtual appliance" using the OVF/OVA standard format.

I'm using VMware Fusion Pro, and exporting from the File... menu (because their command line documentation is the worst)

Networking:

If the customer vsphere environment doesn't run DHCP, then I can't use NAT for the public networking interface. But then, how do I let them assign the address themselves, and how do I tell the Linux OS not try to use dhcp to raise the interface.

I'm tearing my hair out on this one. It should be dirt simple.

Oh, and I spent money on VMware Fusion and the vmware-fusion provider plugin because their facility won't accept OVA's built by VirtualBox, because, um standards.

hello

as long the guest is using dhcp and vmware tools is installed, when they deploy in vsphere the guest will take dhcp or fixed ip automatically if they deploy it correctly

or the vsphere/linux man there should know how to set an ip on a linux guest

i would hand user with sudo so they can path the OS etc
