Is there a best practice for setting up ROS development env?

For now, I use a ros:eloquent-ros-core Docker image to setup a basic ROS env with some essential development tools installed, then run the image with a -v option to mount my local ROS project into the container, then develop & validate everything inside the container, so all my changes are saved to the host machine even the docker container dies.

You should look into ADE. It should make this even easier! The first part of the Autoware course that is currently running touches on ADE a bit I think: Course: Self-Driving Cars with ROS 2 and Autoware.Auto
