🐋 Using Docker

To use franky within Docker we provide a Dockerfile and accompanying docker-compose file.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/timschneider42/franky.git
cd franky/
docker compose build franky-run

To use another version of libfranka than the default (0.21.2), add a build argument:

docker compose build franky-run --build-arg LIBFRANKA_VERSION=0.9.2

To run the container:

docker compose run franky-run bash

The container requires access to the host machine’s network and elevated user rights to allow the Docker user to set RT capabilities of the processes run from within it.

For building franky and its wheels inside Docker, see Development.
