Foxglove supports information exchange both using rosbridge and a dedicated foxglove bridge. Below are instructions for running foxglove in the selected mode.
1. Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/husarion/foxglove-docker.git
cd foxglove-docker/demo2a. Run foxglove_bridge compose
docker compose -f compose.foxglove_bridge.yaml up -d2a. Run rosbridge compose
docker compose -f compose.rosbridge.yaml up -dNote
Foxglove recommends using foxglove_bridge to speed up the exchange of information.
3. Open the Foxglove application in a browser
To access Foxglove, input the following in your browser's search bar:
https://<localhost>:8080/ui- if you work locally,https://<ROBOT_IP>:8080/ui- if you want to connect to a device connected to the same LAN,https://<HUSARNET_NAME>:8080/ui- if you want to connect to the device using Husarnet VPN.
This address automatically redirects to the URL using DS_PORT and DS_TYPE envs to connect to the right data source without setting it manually in the Foxglove UI.
Important
If you want load new layout file, you must first execute the docker-compose -f compose.foxglove_bridge.yaml down or docker-compose -f compose.rosbridge.yaml down command to remove the containers.
