Building and running ROS 2 applications using Docker

[shakirth-anisha]

Description

Docker’s documentation currently lacks a guide for running ROS 2 inside Docker

The proposed guide would cover:

• using official ROS 2 base images
• running ROS 2 in an Ubuntu container
• installing ROS packages
• setting up a devcontainer
• notes on GUI tools like RViz, rqt (with OS specific instructions for the same)
• a small end-to-end example using turtlesim

Would you like to contribute this guide?

• Yes
