ROS Noetic docker images are now available on Dockerhub ! :whale2:

Simply run this command to download and start a session in a Noetic container:

docker run -it ros:noetic

ROS Noetic images are available for the following platforms/architectures:

  • Ubuntu Focal:
    • amd64
    • arm32v7 (armhf)
    • arm64v8 (aarch64)
  • Debian Buster:
    • amd64
    • arm64v8 (aarch64)

The desktop and desktop_full images are available on the osrf/ros docker hub profile

To try them out:

docker run -it osrf/ros:noetic-desktop-full

Changes from past releases:

  • The implicit latest tag is still pointing to melodic and will soon be bumped to the ROS2 release Foxy
  • Building tools (rosdep, compilers, git, rosinstall etc) are now in ros:noetic-ros-base and not part of the ros-core image anymore
  • Reduced image size:
    • All apt calls are now using --no-install-recommends to install only required dependencies
    • The ros-core image is now free of libboost-all-dev :bomb: , we’re continuing effort to remove unused dependencies and encourage anyone coming across packages depending on boost to help narrow down the dependency list.
    • These improvements resulted in a 28% image size reduction between melodic and noetic ros-core images. Big thanks to @mikaelarguedas !

Happy containing!
