title: cloud-init running on macos
body: <p>I want to create few VMs in my homelab which is running on free ESXi. For this I'd like to use terraform. I've found <a href="https://github.com/josenk/terraform-provider-esxi" rel="nofollow noreferrer">terraform-provider-esxi</a> which requires <a href="https://github.com/vmware/cloud-init-vmware-guestinfo" rel="nofollow noreferrer">cloud-init-vmware-guestinfo</a> and that requires <a href="https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init" rel="nofollow noreferrer">cloud-init</a>. So my question is is it possible to run all of those scripts from MACos? If not is there some alternative? I can think of installing custom VM in mac (not preferred) or use some docker container that contains all libraries.</p>
  <p>Thanks</p>
