Installing WhatsApp on VMware ESXi (6.7) Android x86 7.1Ĭomplicatedly authorizing WhatsApp Web clients for VMware ESXi (6.7) Android x86 7.1 Installing Android x86 7.1 on VMware ESXi 6.7 This is the list of articles of the whole operation (split due to big amount of screenshots): Host hardware is Intel NUC8i7HVK with 32GB RAM.

I chose VMware ESXi 6.7 as host because it is of the most stable main branch of the hypervisor. For example 8.1 has horrible glitches which actually make many parts of initial setup widgets invisible 😀. I chose Android x86 7.1 because it seems to be working completely for my desired purposes without (much) graphical glitches. And after enormous test and debug efforts, I was even able to authorize WhatsApp Web clients.

After a lot of teeth grinding, I was able to get WhatsApp running inside it. Recently I found a way to run Android x86 7.1 on VMware ESXi 6.7. But unfortunately some people are reluctant to communicate nowadays with regular phone calls, SMS or IRC, so I basically need to keep Android at hand for running WhatsApp. I am one of those people who are perfectly fine with old style dumb 3G phones.
