ros2workshop's Introduction

ros2workshop

Running with VSCode

In VSCode install extension Dev Containers and Remote Development. Then open this repo in VSCode and do F1 -> Rebuild and Reopen Container.

Run ROS2 Manually with Docker (only tested on Ubuntu 22.04)

Make sure you have Docker installed (see resources).

cd .devcontainer/
./manualrun.sh

You should automatically create and connect to a Docker container with ROS2.

If a container already exists OR another terminal needs to be opened in same container, run:

docker exec  -it ros2workshop /bin/bash
