Is it possible to develop 3rd party apps that will be run on the ESXI 5.0 host machine? For example, daemon that monitor the ESXi machine.
Is it possible to compile application on Red Hat Linux and then install them on the ESXi machine? Should we use specific development environment?
Where can I get information regarding development for ESXi?
You can use the toolchain provide by VMware. WMware provides 3 different version toolchains for their OSes.
ex. ESXi 5.5 toolchain

Yes, only what you need to do is to compile your application with static. And yet one: with vmware esxi, there is only a very limited /proc!
If my understanding is correct, you probably want to do kernel module or userworld development.
Typically, only vmware partner can get the vShpere kmdk devkit. Please find more info here https://developercenter.vmware.com/dcpn-faq.

it is possible to install docker desktop on virtual machine (vmware) windows 10 on a VMWARE ESXI ?
i am trying to install desktop docker on my vmware virtual machine with windows 10.
I installed the wsl2 support but at the end of the installation docker crashes with the following error:
Docker desktop 4.0.1
Installation failed
Component CommunityIstaller.ServiceAction failed to start services: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion
I have done several tests but I cannot avoid this crash in any way.
The Operating System is a build that meets the minimum requirements to install Docker.
However, I noticed that Hyper-V is not enabled in the windows features. can this be a problem?
I think maybe it's a grafted virtualization problem because I install docker inside a VM. it's possible?
How can I solve? (or do you think that i will fix this problem with linux virtual machines?)
Does your host machine have all the advanced flags for 'efficient' nested virtualization? I wouldnt really recommend a third layer install of docker (as the final container is then virtual , on paravirtual (wsl2) on virtual (HyperV), on virtual (Esxi). I heavily assume the performance will be terrible.
And yes: You need Hyper-V, it's a requirement still. I assume, as you say its not available on the features, youre running a windows 10 home? Then sorry, you need at least Windows 10 Pro for Hyper-V support.
But as youre running a ESXI host, go the better performing way: Install any Linux distro of your choise, install docker there - if you wanna use it for Visual Studio etc. , you can still remotely debug etc. - and its performing better than on an a even deeper nested virtualized windows-wsl2. And btw: if its because of GUI, simply install the free Visual Studio Code, it offers Docker Tools which offer you many configiruation and monitoring options in a GUI , without enforcing you to do such a super deep nesting.
Yes, it's definitely possible. I'd probably check the hardware assisted virtualization (if available) is enabled. If so, you might want to make sure you've satisfied the rest of the requirements for the WSL2 backend deployment. If you're still having issues, try an older version and try upgrading from there.
I am trying to install ruby on rails on my windows. But after searching , I came to know that the best combination for ruby is either MAC or LINUX OS. But I m having laptop with windows 10. So can i install and run ruby and rails in UBUNTU inside VMware or which is the best option available?
Not sure what version of Windows 10 you have, but if you have the version that supports Hyper-V you have two good options.

Using either Oracle's Virtual Box or Hyper-V you can basically have a dedicated VM on your local box in the time it takes to download a pre-packaged box. I used this for a long time, though I now use http://c9.io as a cloud based IDE.
Step 1. Download the Oracle VM Virtual box from here.
Step 2. Download the Ubuntu ISO file. 64 bit Windows supports both 32 bit as
well as 64 bit guest OS. If your machine is a 64 bit machine then
download ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso.
Step 3. Enable Intel vt-x from the BIOS menu.
Step 4. Disable Hyper-V platform from Turn windows features on or off.
Step 5. Insert the ISO image into the virtual CD/DVD drive as instructed here.
Step 6. Once the Ubuntu is installed on your VM. Install virtual box guest additions and it will be mounted inside the /media folder and at the right hand corner there will be a button to install the software and you're done with your setup.
I am on Mac OS and Linux and want to test my app on Edge. I know I can use Browserstack, but it's a paid service. Any other ways that I can test on Edge for Free?
If you are on Mac or Linux, you can use the following tools to test Edge for free:
Virtual Machines
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/
You can get the virtual machines image to test Edge as well as IE6 to IE11 on all platforms Mac, Linux and Windows. You do need to have either Virtual Box, VMware or Vagrant to install the VM image.
RemoteIE
https://dev.windows.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/remote/
If you don't want to install VM image, try RemoteIE. The Remote client app is a small utility program that allows you to access Microsoft apps from the cloud. When you launch Internet Explorer from the Remote client app, a real preview version of the browser opens into a new window on your operating system, much like any other app you might have running. This version of Internet Explorer is modified to host the latest preview version of the EdgeHTML rendering engine, so you can test how your site will render in Microsoft Edge. It is available for Mac OS X, iOS, Android and Windows OS devices, and includes simple installation and account set up steps.
Yes, using virtual machines. Microsoft provides VMs in a number of formats for exactly this reason.
You can download them here
I need to setup a Continuous Integration environment for iOS Development, and I have it setup already for my Java Project on a linux machine. So would it be possible to setup this up iOS as well on linux itself? (OR would we require a machine with OS only?)
You Can Install app named "WINE" on linux so u can access VMWARE.exe that can run on your linux, you can run VMWARE based MacOs in VMWARE
I installed Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS in VirtualBox on my Macbook Pro (i7, 4gb ram) in order to do development. Shockingly it's not very snappy (quick/responsive). I want to know which distributions of Linux are small/light but can be used for Rails development in Virtualbox.
Thank you
I did the same using Lubuntu (the light version of ubuntu) installed on a virtual disk. Moreover, I m using a portable version of VirtualBox to have everything on a usbstick.
I ran the Lubuntu from the usbstick and began to develop some rails apps but the OI was not that great for user experience so I copied the virtual disk with lubuntu on the harddisk together with the virtualbox folder. With this setup it work realy fine!
Also, I'm using the guest additions in order to keep shared folders on the usbstick to share the projects amongst machine.
Hope it can help you in your experience.
I use arch linux when developing. It is not designed with being “easy to use” as priority bu it is customisable for everything you need. I like the arch linux way.
Linux VM is not necessary for developing RoR apps on OSX.
Try to google on how to develop RoR apps on native OSX.
