I have finally been able to install Gazebo turtlebot3 inside a docker container and being able to run it (Before I could not manage to make it appear visually) .

So I did

roslaunch turtlebot3_gazebo turtlebot3_world.launch

and got

[ INFO] [1615086003.547659406]: Finished loading Gazebo ROS API Plugin.
[ INFO] [1615086003.548824129]: waitForService: Service [/gazebo/set_physics_properties] has not been advertised, waiting...

log file: /root/.ros/log/392501bc-7ea0-11eb-9515-0242ac110003/spawn_urdf-3*.log

and then from another terminal and inside the same container I did

roslaunch turtlebot3_teleop turtlebot3_teleop_key.launch

However, after that no matter what I press, the robot does not seem to move.

Yet from another terminal I call rqt_graph and got

rqt graph

It seems these nodes are not linked together. This is my first time using turtlebot3 and I wonder what topics is turtlebot3 subscribed to and to which topics I should publish in order for the robot to move. I wonder if my installation is working well or if anything is wrong.

By the way I did rostopic lists and got

 /clock /cmd_vel /gazebo/link_states
 /gazebo/model_states
 /gazebo/parameter_descriptions
 /gazebo/parameter_updates
 /gazebo/set_link_state
 /gazebo/set_model_state /rosout
 /rosout_agg

and rosnode list

/gazebo
/gazebo_gui
/rosout
/turtlebot3_teleop_keyboard

I found out the solution here

ros-melodic-gazebo-ros-pkgs had to be installed. Then just publish to cmd_vel
