In order to manage ESXi from a browser, you need a vCenter Server 
Appliance (SuSE or Windows), because that's what hosts the web server to 
provide that functionality.  $$

If you want to use only the free stuff, you can, but you must manage 
ESXi using the Windows viclient, of if you're up to it, ssh in and use 
esxcli commands.  You can connect to your ESXi host with a browser and 
download the viclient from the main page.
