autodriveecosystem/autodrive_nigel_api repository overview

⁠Aalto University Course using AutoDRIVE Ecosystem

⁠Note:

⁠Pull AutoDRIVE Devkit Container:

docker pull autodriveecosystem/autodrive_nigel_api:<TAG>

⁠Run AutoDRIVE Devkit Container:

1. Enable display forwarding:

   xhost local:root
   

   Copy

2. Run the container at entrypoint:

   docker run --name autodrive_nigel_api --rm -it --entrypoint /bin/bash --network=host --ipc=host -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp.X11-umix:rw --env DISPLAY --privileged --gpus all autodriveecosystem/autodrive_nigel_api:<TAG>
   

   Copy

3. Launch AutoDRIVE Devkit in graphics mode (RViz rendering will be enabled):

   ros2 launch autodrive_nigel bringup_graphics.launch.py
   

   Copy

4. Launch AutoDRIVE Devkit in headless mode (RViz rendering will be disabled):

   ros2 launch autodrive_nigel bringup_headless.launch.py
   

   Copy

5. Start additional bash session(s) within the container (each in a new terminal window):

   docker exec -it autodrive_nigel_api bash
   

   Copy
