DockerROS

the Docker image I created to eliminate the troubles of running a VM on my MacBook

Requirements

• Configured on a MacBook Pro Late 2016. Made to run on Homebrew Docker using Homebrew VirtualBox
• A docker-machine you previously created.

Usage

($ indicates host terminal and # indicates docker root terminal)

• $ export $DRHNAME=machine_name in Terminal
• $ export $DRBUILD=y to configure building. Required only if you started the docker-machine the first time.
• $ sh run.sh Hopefully you will get a terminal running at the docker-machine's root.

• cd workspace/ && catkin_make && source devel/setup.bash

• To start another terminal on the same machine:
• Start new Terminal window/tab
• $ docker exec -it DockerROS bash Hopefully you will get a terminal running at the docker-machine's root.
• To setup XQuartz for graphics:
• Find your local IP address by running $ ifconfig and finding en0: IPv4 address.
• Copy the X11config to "~/.ssh/config" (config is the file, not a directory)
• Start XQuartz
• $ xhost + [ip]

• export DISPLAY=[ip]:0

• Try launching a stageros, for example. (robotcraft2018 maze.launch was used in the tests.)

Current Status

• Although X11 works fine, the main aim was running Gazebo in it and there is a lot of work to do. ALSA lib (who needs f*ing sounds in Gazebo?) and libgl still produce errors.
