ESXi control without vCenter
Power, snapshots, files, scripts and a live console for standalone ESXi hosts, with no vCenter, no browser and no third-party packages.
Several hosts, one sidebar. Add hosts from the bottom of the sidebar and filter All, Running or Off. Each host folds with its VMs, and the overview shows power state, guest OS, address and resources.
