# VMware [ESXi](https://www.vmware.com/products/esxi-and-esx/overview) [Packer](http://packer.io) templates
## Prerequisites
* [Packer](http://packer.io) > 1.5
* VMware Fusion or Workstation
## Build artifacts
This packer template requires to variables to be set either via command line or separate JSON file:
1. `iso_file` - is the ESXi ISO for the build (can be local or remote).
1. `iso_checksum` - is the ESXi ISO checksum you can find on MyVMware when downloading the image, prefixed with the type (such as `md5:`).
To kick off a full build:
```shell
packer build \
-var 'iso_file=iso/VMware-VMvisor-Installer-7.0U1c-17325551.x86_64.iso' \
-var 'iso_checksum=md5:4829a336445741bf13f10bcb79723d40' \
packer-esxi.json
```
The Packer template and the scripts have been tested with ESXi version 5.5, 6.x and 7.0.1.
Default `root` password for the resulting Vagrant box is `Vagrant!23`.
