sylvarg/ros2-desktop-vnc repository overview

⁠docker-ros2-desktop-vnc

Docker image build from this Github repository⁠, also used for teaching ROS2⁠. It provides a ROS2 container with gazebo Fortress (humble) or Webots (Jazzy) and VNC.

⁠Repository Contents

This repository has been inspired by Tiryoh/docker-ros2-desktop-vnc⁠ which has served as a basis for the humble version of the image. Since then, I have also worked on image variants adapted to different ROS 2 environments (Jazzy for now), still with a noVNC integration to access the graphical desktop from a browser. The Jazzy version specifically provides Webots-specific adjustments to allow the use of an "external" (i.e.\ outside of the running Docker container) Webots installation, especially for macos since no linux/arm64 version of Webots exists. I have not tested the same approach for linux for now, but it might work directly ; Windows version of "externalization" has not been worked on so far (05/2026).
