Navigation Stack

[Beginner] I was able to make it work! Sharing in case it’s useful to anyone.

Why:

  • Reduce setup steps by getting ROS pre-installed
  • Develop navigation applications in the safety of an isolated Docker environment
  • Encourage development with ease of use

Specs:

  • Nav2
  • ROS Humble Hawksbill
  • tested on Ubuntu 20.04

Recorded the steps in my blog

Great work! You should look into rocker. It’s a great tool for dockerfile development setup.

Why should I add another level of opaque abstraction?

I think docker compose recipes instead of another tooling dependency are much better for development using docker.
