openRMF server not started up (#440)

Posted by @GeorgeBethel:

Please I would like to know how to open the openrmf web panel and see my robot. when I start the launch file using the command ros2 launch rmf_demos_gz_classic office.launch.xml server_uri:=“ws://localhost:7878” but it does not start the server. I installed openRMF from source for ros2 humble using the guide here: GitHub - open-rmf/rmf: Root repository for the RMF software. I’m I missing something?

How do I get openRMF to open the port and how do I access the openRMF panel on this port

Hello @GeorgeBethel! The web panel has not been maintained for a while now, you can try out the rmf-web dashboard, GitHub - open-rmf/rmf-web instead. Apologies for that, we will update the documentation soon

The setup instructions are in the readme, but take not the most important bit would be to launch with a different URI,

ros2 launch rmf_demos_gz_classic office.launch.xml server_uri:="ws://localhost:8000/_internal"

This points the fleet adapter to connect to the rmf-web API server instead, and you can work with RMF via the rmf-web dashboard
