can either be https://Username:password@URL/sdk or omit the user/pass details\n\n`--user` - used to specify a username\n\n`--pass` - used to specify a password\n\n`--insecure` - used to ignore a bad certificate\n\n*Environment variables*\n\n`VCURL` - same as --address\n\n`VCUSER` / `VCPASS` - same as the credentials above\n\nThen just start the application and you should see something similar below:\n\n```\nVMware vCenter\n├──VMs\n│  ├──server01\n│  │  └──Details\n│  │     ├──CPUs: 1\n│  │     ├──Memory: 1024\n│  │     ├──VMware Tools: guestToolsNotRunning\n│  │     ├──VM IP Address:\n│  │     └──MAC ADDRESS: 00:50:56:a3:64:a2\n│  ├──server02\n│  │  └──Details\n│  │     ├──CPUs: 1\n│  │     ├──Memory: 1024\n│  │     ├──VMware Tools: \n│  │     ├──VM IP Address:\n│  │     └──MAC ADDRESS: 00:50:56:a3:4c:da\n│  ├──server03\n│  ├──server04\n│  ├──server05\n│  └──server06\n│     └──Details\n│        ├──CPUs: 1\n│        ├──Memory: 1024\n│        ├──VMware Tools: guestToolsNotRunning\n```\n\n## Additional functionality\n\n\n### Create New Virtual Machine\n\nPressing `ctrl+n` will open a new screen allowing you to create a new virtual machine, the datastore and network dropdowns will populate once a host has been chosen.\n\n### Deleting a Virtual Machine\n\nSelect the Virtual Machine and press `ctrl+d` WARNING, there will be no alert and the machine will be instantly deleted (VM has to be powered off)\n\n### Search \n\nPressing `ctrl+f` will allow a search option (regexp) allowing you to search for specific virtual machine names.\n\n### Power Management\n\nPressing `ctrl+p` will open a power management ui (press ctrl+c) to exit this menu without making any changes\n\n```\n                    ╔═══Set the power state for this VM════╗                    \n                    ║◉  Power On                           ║                    \n                    ║◯  Power Off                          ║                    \n                    ║◯  Suspend                            ║                    \n                    ║◯  Reset                              ║                    \n                    ║◯  Reboot (guest tools required)      ║                    \n                    ╚══════════════════════════════════════╝    \n```\n\n### Installation / Deployment\n\nThis requires a `plunder` server up and running and accessible from where `vctui` is currently running. Navigate to the MAC address of a newly created virtual machine, and press `ctrl+i`. This will present a new menu for configuring the settings of a newly deployed OS through plunder. \n\n```\n     ╔════════════════════Update deployment═════════════════════╗\n     ║                                                          ║\n     ║ Plunder Address http://localhost                         ║\n     ║                                                          ║\n     ║ MAC Address     00:50:56:9b:2a:b7                        ║\n     ║                                                          ║\n     ║ Hostname        server09                                 ║\n     ║                                                          ║\n     ║ IP Address      192.168.1.3                              ║\n     ║                                                          ║\n     ║ Deployment Type preseed                                  ║\n     ║                                                          ║\n     ║   Save Settings                                          ║\n     ║                                                          ║\n     ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝\n```\n\n### Snapshot\n\nPressing `ctrl+s` on one of the listed snapshots will revert the virtual machine to that snapshot, and it will be left in the powered off state\n\n### Refreshing Virtual Machines\n\nPressing `ctrl+r` will refresh the state of all virtual machines in the VMware vCenter inventory\n\nFeel free to use or get involved.\n\n@thebsdbox\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fthebsdbox%2Fvctui","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fthebsdbox%2Fvctui","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fthebsdbox%2Fvctui/lists"}
