Setup RAI with docker

Docker images are experimental

Docker images are experimental. For tested setup, see the local setup.

1. Build the docker image

Choose the docker image based on your preferred ROS 2 version.

1.1. Humble

docker build -t rai:humble --build-arg ROS_DISTRO=humble -f docker/Dockerfile .

1.2. Jazzy

docker build -t rai:jazzy --build-arg ROS_DISTRO=jazzy -f docker/Dockerfile .

2. Run the docker container

ROS 2 communication

If you intend to run demos on the host machine, ensure the docker container can communicate with it. Test this by running the standard ROS 2 example with one node in docker and one on the host: link. If topics are not visible or cannot be subscribed to, try using rmw_cyclone_dds instead of the default rmw_fastrtps_cpp.

2.1. Humble

docker run --net=host --ipc=host --pid=host -it rai:humble

2.2. Jazzy

docker run --net=host --ipc=host --pid=host -it rai:jazzy

3. Run the tests to confirm the setup

cd /rai
source setup_shell.sh
poetry run pytest
