Hi,
Using vCenter 6.0.0u3 and Horizon 7.4 powered by Nvidia Grid k1. It is working but with extra tweaking. vSphere does not offer the OS customisation option yet. You need to do host naming yourself. I used a shell script and Ansible:
- hostnamer.sh:
#!/bin/sh
echo "$1.mydomain" > /etc/hostname
var1="127.0.1.1 $1.mydomain $1"
sed -i "1s/.*/$var1/" /etc/hosts
- Ansible Yaml:
- name: VM hostname configuration
script: /my_shared_drive/hostnamer.sh inventory_hostname
ignore_errors: yes
You can do what ever, just remember to change the hostname otherwise all of the clones will have the same hostname.
Then as mentioned earlier in this thread, you need to not just install Lightdm, you also you need to switch to Lightdm, and make it the default interface. Use this:
dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
Horizon does not support gdm3 yet (PS: Saying "yet" does not mean that there is a chance for it to be supported ever. I am just hoping).
Then it should work fine. Awaiting updates from VMware to make it better, yet for my case, it is doing the job.
