create a ros bridge image for ros2 humble / ubuntu 22

[ljburtz]

Hello,
Would it be possible to create a docker image that includes the ros2-ros1 bridge for noetic / humble?
The same way it is done for foxy and galactic would be great!

Unfortunately, there is no version of ROS1 officially upporting Ubuntu 22.04, so we would need to have all ROS Noetic ported and funtionnal on that version of Ubuntu (ideally with deb packages available) to have the raw material to craft a docker image supporting the association Ubuntu 22.04, ROS Noetic, ROS 2 Humble and the bridge

thank you for the prompt reply!
I understand and thought the same but became optimistic from this guide. https://docs.ros.org/en/humble/How-To-Guides/Using-ros1_bridge-Jammy-upstream.html
Unfortunately I was not successful trying to make a docker by following it (still had a catkin dependency mismatch)

I was not aware of that tutorial, if I read correctly it looks like you need to start from a scratch ubuntu image, build ROS2 from source, then remove the ros2 apt repo and catkin-pkg-modules before installing ros1 from ubuntu and build the bridge.
Maybe the easiest would be for you to build and use osrf/ros2:source as a base and then use a Dockerfile like the following:

FROM osrf/ros2:source

RUN rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros2-latest.list

RUN apt-get update \
    && apt remove -y python3-catkin-pkg-modules \
    && apt-get install -q -y --no-install-recommends ros-core-dev \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

RUN mkdir -p $HOME/ros1_bridge/src
WORKDIR $HOME/ros1_bridge/src
RUN git clone https://github.com/ros2/ros1_bridge
RUN . /opt/ros2_ws/install/local_setup.sh \
  && MAKEFLAGS=-j1 colcon build
