Fork Autoware_AI repository and create docker image

edit

Hi Autoware_AI currently does not include some vehicles that I wish to use to work with python API. I need to make some changes into the code, modify launch files, etc to make my simulation based on Autoware_AI repository https://github.com/Autoware-AI/docker...

It is not feasible change the code, let it inside shared_dir ( folder with access to my desktop and to the docker) and every time when I build the standard Autoware_AI image to remove and add the modified package code with my modifications.

For this reason I wish to fork the original github packages a little bit, and afterwards create an image based on my for and not based on the original repo.

As a solution to work on my codes I was trying to use a branch. However when I exit docker the branch does not exist anymore after issue the cmd below to use docker.

./run.sh -t 1.14.0

the image will build the standard docker image and the created branch no longer exist!

Wha would be the best option do be done? And where can I find a good tutorial for this case involving fork Autoware project?

Thanks in advance!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------As solution I tried 2 different approaches:

ATTEMPT 1:

1) To modify the container and save it as described here: https://www.scalyr.com/blog/create-do...

Then using other terminal, trying to add .txt file for Autoware_AI running container, to modify the container, Autoware_AI container does not appear as active (but it is). Just other container are avaialable when I try to copy a file to Autoware_AI:

$ docker cp file.txt (Twice tab): ade: ade_registry.gitlab.com_autowarefoundation_autoware.auto_ade-lgsvl_foxy_2020.06: ade_registry.gitlab.com_autowarefoundation_autoware.auto_autowareauto_amd64_ade-foxy_master: ade_registry.gitlab.com_autowarefoundation_autoware.auto_autowareauto_amd64_binary-foxy_master: hi_mom:

These ade images above are from AutowareAuto, not from AutowareAI, that I wish to use. I have just as external option to access Autoware.Auto images path and the nginx(Hi mom) image (from this tutorial link passed). Unfortunately docker command does not work inside the running container terminal…

But if I list the images I have available, it is possible to see that AutowareAI image was built:

$ docker images:

etc...

However you can check in right upper terminal or in left bottom terminal the Autoware_AI container is running with the name ( autoware/autoware: 1.14.0-melodic-cuda). Different from AutowareAuto project that ... (more)
