Dockerfile to provide a ROS2 container with gazebo Fortress and VNC, based on Tiryoh/docker-ros2-desktop-vnc
Run the docker container and access with port 6080.
Change the shm-size value depending on the situation.
NOTE: --security-opt seccomp=unconfined flag is required to launch humble image. See Tiryoh/docker-ros2-desktop-vnc#56.
An example docker-compose.yaml is provided, e.g.
services:
ros-desktop-vnc:
image: sylar/ros2-desktop-vnc:humble
## seccomp profile must be deactivated for Ubuntu 22.04
security_opt:
- seccomp:unconfined
shm_size: '512m'
restart: unless-stopped
container_name: ros2_desktop_vnc
hostname: remotepc
## To solve some issue with VNC
extra_hosts:
- "remotepc:127.0.0.1"
volumes:
- /path/to/your/ws/src:/home/turtle/ros2_ws/src
Browse http://127.0.0.1:6080/.
The image also includes zenoh-bridge-ros2dds. It allows the container to communicate with an external host (e.g. a robot), which is not always possible even in host mode (in particular with a Windows or macos host). Note that zenoh-bridge-ros2dds must also be installed on the robot.
Consider the robot has an IP address 192.168.0.10. On the robot, launch zenoh-bridge-ros2dds. Then you can connect the docker container to the robot trough the zenoh bridge by typing in a terminal inside the container: zenoh-bridge-ros2dds -e tcp/192.168.0.10:7447. Then, both hosts (the robot and the container) will communicate together through the bridge. Note that for that purpose, as indicated in zenoh-bridge-ros2dds documentation, ROS_LOCALHOST_ONLY environment variable has been set to 1 to make sure that NO DDS communication can occur between 2 hosts that are bridged by zenoh-bridge-ros2dds. This can be changed in the .bashrc file if needed.
To build Docker image from this Dockerfile, run the following command.
- humble
# using "docker buildx (multiarch)"
cd humble && docker buildx build --push --platform=linux/arm64,linux/amd64 --progress=plain -t sylar/ros2-desktop-vnc:humble .humble, which is based onhumble/Dockerfile
