Alex from CoreOS here: This only supports virtualbox at the moment, but we are actively working on adding VMware. Fill out the form on this page if you want us to spam you when we have the vmware image (or others): http://coreos.com/


Why no VMware, Xen or Qemu? We can help you if you have any issues with making thus work you know :)


Any plans for Parallels?


Not at the moment. That said, we will be publishing raw images that should be portable to just about anything.


Vagrant supports VMWare, but not Parallels yet.


Oh? I just tried to get one with the instructions on their github page, and it said the box type was vbox. Are the vmware versions kept elsewhere?


He was talking about Vagrant (the tool CoreOS uses to distribute VM images)...

Also, I think you can just make a directory in the `~/vagrant.d/boxes/coreos` folder called "vmware" and copy over the vagrant file, box.ovf and the metadata.json. Then you just edit the metadata to have a vmware provider and the box.ovf to reference "../virtualbox/<<theimage>>"

I however do not have a vagrant vmware license and cannot test this theory.


Wow. I got voted down for this? You guys are great. :/
