Dockerized ROS2 development environment

edit

I already used these images and they are quite helpful. I was looking for modified docker images which setup an development environment like rosdocked does.

I'm not so sure you would want to bake/hardcode those environment variables, user id, workspces, etc into the image that could otherwise simply be configured at runtime. For example: https://github.com/ruffsl/hsr_demo/bl...

Doing so just reduces the portability of your development image, say for example you wanted to share the image with someone's else to demonstrate a runtime error. They might not necessarily have the same user or group id for their account on their machine as you did on yours.

Thanks a lot for that hint. You are totally right. I didn't consider that option so far.

There is a repo which creates a ROS2 dev env ros2_experimental. However it seems to be outdated w.r.t. current linux dev env setup instructions.

@ruffsl I tried to build your docker demo but it failed like described here.

I copy & pasted instructions of the Linux dev env setup into the Dockerfile in this ros2-devenv (branch: core). However it doesn't build successfully as well...

Here is yet another repo which used OpenSplice: docker-ros2-ospl-ce (I've not tried it yet.)
