Dockerized Execution of Robotics Applications in RADI

This guide outlines the steps to set up and run a Dockerized execution of robotics applications made from VisualCircuit within the RADI (Robotics Application Development Interface).

Step 1: Set Up VisualCircuit

1. Set up the normal VisualCircuit environment.

Step 2: Start Frontend

1. Navigate to the frontend directory:cd frontend
2. Start the frontend server:npm start

Step 3: Start Backend

1. Navigate to the backend directory:cd backend
2. Start the backend server:python3 manage.py runserver 8080

Step 4: Activate PythonWebIDE Environment

1. Navigate to the PythonWebIDE directory:cd PythonWebIDE
2. Open a terminal and activate the virtual environment:source env/bin/activate

Step 5: Start React Frontend

1. Navigate to the react_frontend directory:cd react_frontend
2. Run the development server:npm run dev

Step 6: Start Another Backend Instance

1. Open another terminal.
2. Navigate to the backend directory:cd backend
3. Start another instance of the backend server:python3 manage.py runserver

Step 7: Run Docker image RADI

sudo docker run --rm -it --name radi -p 2303:2303 -p 1905:1905 -p 8765:8765 -p 6080:6080 -p 1108:1108 -p 7163:7163 jderobot/robotics-academy:3.4.5 --no-server

Verification

After following these steps, the VisualCircuit should be running in a Dockerized environment within the RADI.

Video Proof.

Fixes

• Fixes issue First integrated prototype of the dockerized execution of the VisualCircuit application from the browser #220.

I had to make some changes to the steps you've described but I got it working....

• Please add a README containing the Pull Request Description to the project
• Include the steps for setting up PythonWebIDE as well to the README

Also Step 6 is not starting another Backend instance but rather using the env virtual environment and running the server in PythonWebIDE/ itself.

Will need some fine-tuning to get it working perfectly, but its a great first prototype of VC+
