ROS 2 Crazyflie docker

This is an image that I generated using the workflow that is suggested by Kimberly McGuire in the Crazyflie’s Adventures with ROS 2 and Gazebo.

I had to change some conflicts between libignition-gazebo and gz-sim plugins, but other than that it works as expected.

Using CLI

To build the image, you need to type:

docker build --no-cache -t ros2-crazyflie .

To run the container, you need to type:

docker run -it --rm --network=host --ipc=host -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw --env=DISPLAY --name ros2-crazyflie-container ros2-crazyflie

Using docker compose

To start the docker compose, you need to type:

docker compose up -d

To get access in the container, you need to type:

docker exec -it ros2-crazyflie-container /bin/bash

To stop the docker compose, you need to type:

docker compose down
