HASSOS 5.13 OVA VMware ESXI Not Properly Built

Hi,

I’d like to bring attention to a major issues with the HASSOS 5.13 OVA file for ESXI hosted for download on github.com.

  1. The virtual hardware “vmx-10” is far out of date given as of FY 2021 supports version “vmx-19”
  2. There are issues with the SHA signing.
  3. ESXI/vSphere 7.x will not import/deploy the image.

Here are relative images:

HA Team, can we please get this resolved ASAP?

UPDATE:
For anyone looking to deploy the OVA to ESXi/vSphere, I was able to successfully deploy it using the following commandline tool “OVFTool” with this syntx:

ovftool.exe --skipManifestCheck --noDestinationSSLVerify -ds=DataStoreForVM -n=NameOfVM hassos_ova-5.13-ESXI.ova vi://esxi-host-ip-address/

You have to download the free OVFTool from VMware.

HA Team, I suggest increasing the VM ram to 4 GB and HDD to 50 GB.
