Docker Development Image

This guide explains how to set up a Docker-based development environment for building and developing Dave repository and related software.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Follow these steps to install required utilities on your host system.

Step 2: Build and run

Once you've installed the dependencies, you can build your Docker development environment with the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/Field-Robotics-Lab/dockwater.git
cd dockwater
./build.bash noetic
./run.bash dockwater:noetic

If the above is successful, you should end up with a command prompt opened into the Docker container. Your user information will be the same and your home directory will be mounted and accessible within the container.

OPTIONAL: GPU Multibeam sonar

- DO NOT INCLUDE THIS if you are not using multibeam sonar.
- It require CUDA Library and NVIDIA driver along with the NVIDIA graphics card that supports CUDA feature.

For instructions and plugin details : Multibeam Forward-Looking Sonar

git clone -b cuda https://github.com/Field-Robotics-Lab/dockwater.git
cd dockwater
./build.bash noetic
./run.bash noetic:latest

Notes

• The build.bash and run.bash scripts may take a few minutes the first time they run.
• Code for the Docker development images is hosted in the dockwater repository. See the repository wiki for more information about this project and supported use cases.
