dev_release¶

This is an example of how to create a docker development workflow

Quick start¶

From this directory, run all the steps to get the code, build the development image, build the code, and build the release image.

cd /path/to/workstation_setup/workspaces/dev_release
make

Set up¶

Set up your workspace

make setup

Build¶

Make the development environment docker

make docker

Install¶

Make the workspace using the development docker

make example

Step-by-step¶

Set up your workspace¶

The workspace uses the ROS 2 Crystal example listed in .rosinstall. Create the source directory and fetch it with the setup target:

make setup

To use different repositories, edit .rosinstall before running make setup.

cat src/.rosinstall

Build the dockerfile¶

Edit develop.dockerfile to include any additional resources, then build the development image. It is built with your user ID, group ID, and name so builds run as your host user.

docker build -f develop.dockerfile -t althack/ros2:crystal-example-dev \
  --build-arg UID="$(id -u)" --build-arg GID="$(id -g)" \
  --build-arg UNAME="$(whoami)" .

Build inside the docker image¶

Run the docker image with the build function

docker run -it -v "/home/$(whoami):/home/$(whoami)" \
  althack/ros2:crystal-example-dev /build.sh "$(pwd)"

Copy install targets into release docker image¶

Build the release docker image that will copy the install targets into the image

docker build -f release.dockerfile -t althack/ros2:crystal-example-release .
