How to run a ROS2 node inside docker image?
Hi
I have a ROS 2 package and successfully create a docker image of it. Then when inside the container I would like to run only one single node of the ROS 2 package. So first I create the environment with PATH=$PATH:/home/user/.local/bin
then vcs import . <system_integration/ros.repos
then docker pull ghcr.io/test-inc/base_images:foxy
. I am running and executing the docker with
docker run --name test -d --rm -v $(pwd):/home/ros2/foxy/src ghcr.io/company-inc/robot1_vnc_ros2:foxy
docker exec -it test /bin/bash
Then when I am inside the docker. I build the package with
colcon build --symlink-install --event-handlers console_cohesion+ --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release --packages-up-to system_integration
So now I am inside the docker in the root@1942eef8d977:~/ros2/foxy
and would like to run one python node. But ros2 run package_name node_name
would not work right? I am not familiar much with docker so not sure how to run the node. Any help?
Thanks
Please try it first. Then, if it does not work, you can post the errors.
