Basic controls straight from the esxi host in the browser

This allows you to run basic operations against the ESXi MOB api from a simple web interface straight from the ESXi host without the need for the vCenter web client.

Inspired by virtuallyGhetto's Ghetto webAccess for ESXi

Copy over the web directory to your esxi host with

scp -r web {ESXi hostname}:/usr/lib/vmware/hostd/docroot/

Then navigate to https://{ESXi hostname}/web/, accept the certificate error and enter your username/password for the host.
