No test vCenter? Dont worry - use a mock endpoint

You can use the following instructions to run a mock vCenter 6.5 REST endpoint with some basic functionality, just enough to get this demo going with 4 hosts and a number of VMs.

To start the endpoint do the following before launching the app:

  1. Ensure you have Java installed!
  2. CD into wiremock directory.
  3. Launch vSphere Endpoint for On-Prem DC using the bat file on windows, sh file on linux or via the following command:
java -jar wiremock-standalone-2.5.0.jar --https-port=8082 --verbose --root-dir ./on-prem/
  1. Set your ini file to use the following hosturl: https://localhost:8082
