Hi, I am trying to integrate RMF Web to upgrade on RMF Panel. The problem is, I have searched a lot of places in github, but there are no instructions to follow to install everything required for the RMF Web software. I am using ROS2 Humble Ubuntu version 22.04. Is there anyone who has successfully installed RMF Web software able to guide me on the installation or provide a link to the installation guide? Would be of great help

Hello, did you look thru the readme on this repo? Can you list what was unclear / what was attempted without success?

Yes, I looked through the readme. The Quick start from docker section seems like something that should be run after installing the OpenRMF Web, so that part makes sense. I have already installed the Open RMF software (build from source). The other sections of the readme seems incomplete as I think there are some other software having to be installed before following these steps. Thus, I am not sure where to look or where to start when installing the OpenRMF Web software. Do correct me if I am wrong, thank you.

The quick-start contains pre-built rmf-web images to use with your rmf installation, no additional rmf-web installation steps are needed. It would be helpful if you can list the steps you have tried.

Oh, yes the quick-start works, but I would like to try and explore building a custom dashboard using the OpenRMF Web software. How do I go about doing that? Because I saw that it is possible to schedule the tasks, and also monitor the tasks via the dashboard. Where should I look at to achieve this?

Scheduling, monitoring capabilities are included by default, no additional steps are needed.
If you would like to build you own dashboard, please look thru the APIs available rmf-web/packages/api-server at main · open-rmf/rmf-web · GitHub.
