govc.el

Interface to govc for managing VMware ESXi and vCenter.

The goal of this package is to provide a simple interface for commonly used govc commands within Emacs. This includes table based inventory/state modes for vms, hosts, datastores and pools. The keymap for each mode provides shortcuts for easily feeding the data in view to other govc commands.

Within the various govc modes, press ? to see a popup menu of options. A menu bar is enabled for certain modes, such as govc-vm-mode and govc-host-mode. There is also a govc menu at all times under the Tools menu.

The recommended way to install govc.el is via MELPA (http://melpa.org/).

govc-mode

Running govc-global-mode creates key bindings to the various govc modes. The default prefix is C-c ; and can be changed by setting govc-keymap-prefix.

govc-command-map

Keybinding	Description
h	Host info via govc
p	Pool info via govc
v	VM info via govc
s	Datastore info via govc

govc-urls

List of URLs for use with govc-session. The govc-session-name displayed by govc-mode-line uses url-target (anchor) if set, otherwise url-host is used.

Example:

  (setq govc-urls `("root:vagrant@localhost:18443#Vagrant-ESXi"
                    "root:password@192.168.1.192#Intel-NUC"
                    "Administrator@vsphere.local:password!@vcva-clovervm"))

To enter a URL that is not in the list, prefix universal-argument, for example:

C-u M-x govc-vm

To avoid putting your credentials in a variable, you can use the auth-source search integration.

  (setq govc-urls `("myserver-vmware-2"))

And then put this line in your auth-sources (e.g. ~/.authinfo.gpg):

    machine myserver-vmware-2 login tzz password mypass url "myserver-vmware-2.some.domain.here:443?insecure=true"

Which will result in the URL "tzz:mypass@myserver-vmware-2.some.domain.here:443?insecure=true". For more details on auth-sources, see Info node (auth) Help for users.

When in govc-vm or govc-host mode, a default URL is composed with the current session credentials and the IP address of the current vm/host and the vm/host name as the session name. This makes it easier to connect to nested ESX/vCenter VMs or directly to an ESX host.

govc-session-url

ESX or vCenter URL set by govc-session via govc-urls selection.

govc-session-insecure

Skip verification of server certificate when true. This variable is set to the value of the GOVC_INSECURE env var by default. It can also be set per-url via the query string (insecure=true). For example:

  (setq govc-urls `("root:password@hostname?insecure=true"))

govc-session-datacenter

Datacenter to use for the current govc-session. If the endpoint has a single Datacenter it will be used by default, otherwise govc-session will prompt for selection. It can also be set per-url via the query string. For example:

  (setq govc-urls `("root:password@hostname?datacenter=dc1"))

govc-session-datastore

Datastore to use for the current govc-session. If the endpoint has a single Datastore it will be used by default, otherwise govc-session will prompt for selection. It can also be set per-url via the query string. For example:

  (setq govc-urls `("root:password@hostname?datastore=vsanDatastore"))

govc-session-network

Network to use for the current govc-session.
