ROS workflow with Docker

This repository contains some starting points for developing a ROS workflow. Currently, using GUI programs is not working properly, but a basic ROS workspace can be created.

Starting ROS workspace container

In the root of the directory running will start two containers: one running rose core and another that you can use as a workspace.

docker-compose up

This command will connect you to a bash prompt for the workspace docker container.

docker exec -it dev_ros_workspace_1 bash

From this point you can run any ROS commands such as:

rosnode list

or

cd ~/catkin_ws
catkin_make

To restart or stop the docker containers run the following commands from a local bash terminal

docker-compose restart

or

docker-compose down
