Setup instructions and docker files for AR3.

AR3 Setup

Install Dependencies:

• Docker: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/
• docker-compose: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/
• vcs: http://wiki.ros.org/vcstool

I prefer sudo apt install python3-vcstool using the ROS repositories

First Time Instructions

1. Setup Workspace and Clone ar3_setup

    $ mkdir -p ~/ros2/ar3_ws/src
    $ cd ~/ros2/ar3_ws
    $ git clone [email protected]:RIF-Robotics/ar3_setup.git
   

2. Clone Repositories

   $ cd ~/ros2/ar3_ws/ar3_setup
   $ vcs import ../src < ar3.repos
   

   NOTE: Regularly execute the following to keep the repositories up to date:

   $ vcs pull ../src
   

3. Build Docker development environment

    $ cd ~/ros2/ar3_ws/ar3_setup
    $ docker-compose build
   

Use Docker Development Environment

Start Docker development environment and enter:

$ cd ~/ros2/ar3_ws/ar3_setup
$ docker-compose up -d dev-nvidia
$ docker exec -it ar3_rolling_nvidia /bin/bash

NOTE: You can open as many terminals as needed with the last command. Each command will drop you inside the same container.

Stop Docker container

$ cd ~/ros2/ar3_ws/ar3_setup
$ docker-compose stop

Remove container (will remove any of your changes in the Docker container, so don't do this unless you want to start fresh):

$ cd ~/ros2/ar3_ws/ar3_setup
$ docker-compose down
