ROS Manager

ROS Manager integrates NiceGUI, MinIO, and Webviz using Docker and NGINX. The goal is to provide a seamless interface for visualizing ROS bag files stored in MinIO and viewed through Webviz.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Docker
• Docker Compose
• Git
• Python (Newest stable 3.X reccomended)

Setup

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/shubhambhatnag/ROS-Manager.git
cd ROS-Manager

Deployment

1. Build and Start the Docker Containers

   Navigate to the root directory of the project and run (Make sure docker is running):

   docker-compose up --build -d

   This command will build the Docker images and start the containers for MinIO, Webviz, NiceGUI, and NGINX.

2. Access the Application

   Once the containers are running, access the application via:

   http://localhost (Google Chrome strongly recommended)

   • MinIO Console: http://localhost/minio-console
   • Webviz: http://localhost/webviz
   • NiceGUI Interface: http://localhost

Usage

1. Uploading ROS Bag Files to MinIO

   • Access the MinIO console by pressing the button on the app, or open http://localhost/minio-console
   • Login with username and password (both are "minioadmin")
   • Use the MinIO console to upload ROS bag files to the ros-data bucket (Bucket should already be created for you, but in the event that it does not exist please create a new bucket titled 'ros-data').

2. Visualizing ROS Bag Files

   • Access the NiceGUI interface at http://localhost
   • Select a ROS bag file from the dropdown menu to visualize it using Webviz.
   • If new bags are added to bucket, please reload the page.

3. Editing Layout

   • Use the toggle to select which pre-determined layout to use
   • The Webviz app also allows you to set your own layout, and import/export your own JSON layouts (top right)

4. Closing Application

   • To close the application and spin down all services , run docker compose down
