docker-open-vm-tools

A Debian latest based Docker container running open-vm-tools only on VMware hosted CoreOS instances. We PXE boot our CoreOS systems - the PXE image does not contain the open-vm-tools.

Reboot, Poweroff, etc are working as systemctl within the container talks to systemd on the docker host.

The vSphere client is aware of the used IPs and DNS names due to the --net=host parameter.

From cloud-config
