Creating & Programming Robots

The dockerfile is created from nvidia/opengl image for ubuntu 16.04. The librairies used by V-REP are installed. The V-REP code is downloaded from Coppelia Robotics website, here we use 3.5 version.

The image is built with <cli> $ docker build -t vrep -f vrep-openGL.Dockerfile . </cli>

Before executing a graphical container we need to allow X11 out put on the host with xhost command. Then we can run the container in interactive mode for debug : <cli> $ xhost +local:docker $ docker run -ti –rm -e DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix/:/tmp/.X11-unix –name vrep vrep </cli>
