Would you be able to comment or help/link to the Unlocker 2.0.9RC downloader for ESXi 6.5? Trying to get this working and noticed that only 2.0.8 is available for download from the insanelymac site, and your git here starts at v4 but no more listing of ESXi compatibility.
This comment had mentioned it worked and wondered if you still had it?
(Or if I'm missing something and this repo works with ESXi 6 and above then please let me know
Thank you so much!

Iirc (I could be wrong about this) this project is technically a fork. There is no history of anything pre version 4.0. Are you really unable to find anything?
@DrDonk am I wrong?
@mmccollum2 commented on GitHub (Jan 19, 2023):
Of course, as soon as I post an issue, found a blog that has an edit about another unlocker (v300) to support ESXi 6.5 and 6.7. Checking now!
@mmccollum2 commented on GitHub (Jan 19, 2023):
If this helps anyone, if you have ESXi 6.5 or 6.7 and want to run MacOS Ventura, and with the unlocker v2.x you're getting this error
Failed - Transport (VMDB) error -45: Failed to connect to peer process.Then uninstall any unlocker patches and here's some guidance for you!
Good blog to follow for steps
All/Any MacOS ISO images that you need, ready for download
Unlocker 3.0.0 that works with ESXi 6.5 and 6.7
Annnnd ESXi 7.0 and 7.0 U1 (7.0.1) blog and git
Good luck!

I can give it to you from my archives but it needs a change because it was unreliable and caused some issues. I now know what that is and can change it. I would not use the one out there.
@DrDonk commented on GitHub (Jan 20, 2023):
Here is a hacked V3 called 3.9.9 to mitigate the issues there were on ESXi 6 with previous versions. You will need to re-run this when you patch or update the ESXi server software, the same as the supported v4 esxi-unlocker on ESXi7 & 8.
Note I won't be taking issue on this and I am not in a position to spend any time on it. So it's an "as-is" release.

I have the V2 and V3 in a private GIT repo after I retired from Insanelyemac (I was Donk over there) so they do still exist. I pulled V3 for ESXi after some heads up about how it worked, from trusted sources, and that's why there is now an esx-unlocker V4 here https://github.com/DrDonk/esxi-unlocker
This unlocker repo was created for the Go language port for Workstation and Player as ESXi is still Python based so split the code out.

No updates so closing

Awesome! Thank you for the help on this and supplying the newer versions of this. Understood this isn't supported. Cheers.
