Testing platform for Gazebo Ionic

Gazebo Ionic is supported for Linux only on Ubuntu Noble (24.04). For the testers that don't run this platform it is possible to use a virtual environment with GPU support to run this.

Docker ionic-prerelease image

The repository contains a Dockerfile ready to setup an Ubuntu Noble with the necessary packages from the prerelease repository to run Gazebo Ionic.

Build it with:

docker build --target=ionic-prerelease -t ionic-prerelease - < Dockerfile

Running the images with GPU support

To run the ionic-prerelease image created the recommended tool is rocker: https://github.com/osrf/rocker .

Installing rocker

The master branch is needed to support Ubuntu Noble systems:

 python3 -m venv rocker_ws/
 . rocker_ws/bin/activate
 pip3 install git+https://github.com/osrf/rocker@master

Be sure of using the same shell to launch rocker from it or run the activate command in the desired shell.

Launching the ionic image: Nvidia users

rocker --user --x11 --nvidia -- ionic-prerelease
# User should be now inside the Noble system with Ionic installed
# to launch the simulator: gz sim --verbose

Launching the ionic image: Intel users

rocker --user --x11 --devices /dev/dri --group-add video  -- ionic-prerelease
# User should be now inside the Noble system with Ionic installed
# to launch the simulator: gz sim --verbose

Using the nightly packages

During the testing period some hot fixes land everyday in the Gazebo repositories. Nightly packages are released every night into the nightly repository using the latest commits in the Gazebo Ionic repositories.

To use the nightly image just repeat the steps before changing ionic-prerelease by ionic-nightly in docker build and rocker.
