The build.sh shell script is used to create both the ghettoVCB VIB and Offline Bundle for both pre-ESXi 8.x and ESXi 8.x+ which is available for download in the ghettoVCB Releases page. For those interested, you can also use this script to generate your own VIB/Offline Bundled which automatically pulls from the latest ghettoVCB source code.
The build script requires docker to be installed and uses the vibauthor docker container to generate the VIB/Offline Bundle.
Here is an example of running the script:
❯ ./build.sh
