# govmomi
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A Go library for interacting with VMware vSphere APIs (ESXi and/or vCenter).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For `govc`, a CLI built on top of govmomi, check out the [govc](./govc) directory and [USAGE](./govc/USAGE.md) document.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Compatibility
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This library is built for and tested against ESXi and vCenter 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're able to use it against older versions of ESXi and/or vCenter, please
|
||
|
|
leave a note and we'll include it in this compatibility list.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Documentation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The APIs exposed by this library very closely follow the API described in the [VMware vSphere API Reference Documentation][apiref].
|
||
|
|
Refer to this document to become familiar with the upstream API.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The code in the `govmomi` package is a wrapper for the code that is generated from the vSphere API description.
|
||
|
|
It primarily provides convenience functions for working with the vSphere API.
|
||
|
|
See [godoc.org][godoc] for documentation.

||
|
|
To build locally with Drone:
|
||
|
|
- Ensure that you have Docker 1.6 or higher installed.
|
||
|
|
- Install the [Drone command line tools][dronecli].
|
||
|
|
- Run `drone exec` from within the root directory of the govmomi repository.
