Fun fact: I'm the vmware architect who pushed this development 2 years ago, and I didn't search for this video. :-)

I love ESXi. I have a Late 2012 mac mini that was running ubuntu for basic DNS and File sharing, way underused. I loaded ESXi on it and converted the linux OS into a VM, AND moved my two cloud VPSes running my email server and VoIP server in-house onto ESXi and the mac mini still have a lot of resources left to spare.

First thought: WHHhhhyyy would ya do the thing!
Watching
I love your tenacity ...

For a 8GB machine using docker instead might be a more efficient solution - since you are virtualizing Arm-based Linux machines anyway.

[Lukes-Tech]

This is great! This is why you asked for the uefi:D😉

[pandersen]

ESXi on ARM, Kubernetes, or Docker Swarm for the cluster? so many choices

[sebastianreal]

someone else having troubles with installation
it takes too long to show "bios" splash and dont recognize ESC key (usb)
thanks
My board
Hardware : BCM2711
Revision : d03114

Great instructions. When I go ESXI installed with not issues. I was able to upload an Unbuntu image and select it when creating my VM. My problem is when I go to start a VM, I get the following message:
Start PXE Over IPv4
I assume it is an issue in the configuration that comes up after this message, but am not sure what to change.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John G.

Now we're talking, awesome video !
Edit (would it be better if we used kvm and a Web interface for kvm such as cockpit-machines ?)

Better explanation of what vm ware esxi (type 1) compared to type 2 is that it sits on top of bare metal instead like virtual box that is inside another OS. And because of that you get better performance.

Great guide, I'm up and running but running real hot - any tips for fan control with Argon One M.2 case? - as I don't hear the fan running in the case.

Wow, very impressive, and I say that as a 39 year IT veteran, VCP5, and RPI enthousiast, definitely following and checking u out

[securitysutra]

NEW VM NOT BOOTING FROM ISO.. have you faced same issue

[eugrus]

I wish there were just a ready-to go SD-card image of ESXi ARM. What's the fun in Pi if you can't initially configure it headless.

VM´s on a PI
haha thats cool and kinda crazy
great video

[TBL_stevennelson]

Your explanation of why we install things and test. Them is right on point. Thanks for doing this video

[supersayen]

Haven't watch the whole thing yet, but, in theory, this could be used to create a cheap VSAN witness.

Can You make a video about KWin on Xubuntu Raspberry Pi 4


Or Least Xubuntu Rpi Customisation

[RmpgeRmpge]

I did everything this way but I have the following problem and although I can't use the Usb Stick to install Linux or Windows I just can't create data memory then I did a 2 Usb on it but that doesn't work then always Unable to create Filesystem, please see VMkernel log for more details: Failed to create VMFS on device mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0:2

[Mardeet]

So you mentioned vmotion and vsan but you need at least three hosts. You going to be doing that?
