VMwareRemote

What is it?

VMwareRemote (temporary name), is a tool written in Python that let's you see a list of your VMware VMs inside a web browser, in order to use them in another computer on the same network.

What it ISN'T?

VMwareRemote DOES NOT let you remote control a running VM, for that you may want to use a VNC Client and the built in VNC Server of VMware Workstation.

How to run

Install Python (either from the MS Store or from the official website) and Pip.
In a terminal (CMD or PowerShell) type:

pip install flask

1. Using shell script

Run start.bat/start.sh from the copied folder

2. Using terminal

Open a terminal in the folder you clone the repo into and run this 2 commands:
