robotology-playground / docker_images

This repository stores the Dockerfiles used by the docker images maintained by the IIT iCub Facility

Dockerfiles for YARP, iCub and friends.

docker_images's Issues

Use Travis CI to generate the images

Despite dockerhub offers a nice interface for handling images, their provided resources for the automatic generation are too restricted and the build times last forever.

We should switch to Travis asap.

Rebase images on Ubuntu 18:04

As soon as the new LTS release will roll out, all the images should be rebased on top of it.

Add Gazebo 9 support

Update images after new releases

Templating dockerfiles

After the last master merge, the Dockerfiles for master and devel are even more similar. For maintainability it might be worth considering the switch to templates in order to reduce code duplication.

I see different choices here:

• Plain CMake exploiting file and configure_file (Example)
• mustache, liquid, EmPy
• A mix of the previous ones

CMake is very powerful for moving and creating files, we have big experience with it, but it might be cumbersome having a decent configuration file (and I'm thinking a yaml file).

Logic-less engines like mustache might do the work, and most of these kind of engines support out-of-the-box readable configuration files.

For what concerns multiplatform support, if we go towards non-CMake solutions, exploiting python or a meta-solution like a slim docker image to generate docker images would work.

yarp-tdd images are failing

Error:

Build failed: The command '/bin/sh -c git clone https://github.com/robotology/icub-tests && cd icub-tests && git checkout $GIT_BRANCH && mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=${BUILD_TYPE} .. && make && make install' returned a non-zero code: 1

Add Gazebo 10

Gazebo 10 was release some while ago. We should add a new image with the new release.

Docker Images Meeting Minutes

We had a small internal meeting discussing the future for docker images for yarp/robotology-superbuild, etc., and we defined a few action points.

• Remove yarp-gazebo e yarp-tdd
• Remove yarp/git, keeping yarp/bin only (bin subfolder should be removed)
• Move here YCM images (all supported cmake combination should be created)
• Update yarp:bin su ubuntu:focal
• Update icub:bin based in yarp:bin (should be ok)
• Update yarp image to use YCM from the image created
• Rename robotology-tdd to robotology-superbuild update dependencies and CMake options. Also compare with images developed by icub-tech
• Develop a docker-compose.yml file to build without makefile
• Update CI to use the docker-compose.yml file
• Update CI to push to GitHub registry instead of Dockerhub. Images for each repositories should be connected to the corresponding repository.
• Check if CI from this repo is able to push on other repositories
• Move this repo to robotology and rename to docker-images
• Understand how to handle the Nvidia/mesa drivers, and if we still need to do extra things to do
• Investigate rocker
• Investigate opencontainers and decide which labels should be used
• Investigate how to handle users and groups (for source files, DBus, runtime directory)

Remove Gazebo 8 images

Gazebo 8 reached its EOL in in January 2019. We should test only supported version, currently 9 and 10.

Add links to dockerhub in README

Some links for context and a link to https://hub.docker.com/r/robotology/ would probably be useful.

`robotology/yarp-tdd:gazebo*:devel` image need to be rebuilt

See https://travis-ci.org/robotology/gazebo-yarp-plugins/builds/239881303 .

Remove xenial images

Since we do not support xenial anymore, we should remove the images based on than and maintain only the bionic ones.

Move to robotology?

The repo is part of the robotology CI system since some time, I think we should move it to the regular robotology organization. @diegoferigo opinions on this?

yarp-tdd: the bin image is not anymore useful

Starting from the last release of YARP, in order to have the RTF support in it, RTF must be compiled before YARP. Since the YARP package from the repository doesn't have the RTF support, the yarp-tdd:bin image has no reason to exist anymore.

If you need to test against a stable YARP release, please use yarp-tdd:master.
