Docker Machine VMware Driver

Create Docker machines locally on VMware Fusion and Workstation.

This driver requires VMware Workstation 14 (Windows/Linux) or VMware Fusion 10 (MacOS) to be installed on your host. Earlier versions of Workstation/Fusion might still work with this driver, but it's not officially supported.

Docker machine has a builtin driver called vmwarefusion. The main difference between those drivers is that vmware also works on VMware Workstation, while vmwarefusion only works on VMware Fusion.
