    hello everybody,

    i have a m500 development drone. I am following this tutorial

    Link Preview Image
    How to run Ubuntu on VOXL using Docker

    ModalAI technical documentation for VOXL and VOXL 2 Companion Computers for PX4 and ArduPilot Obstacle Avoidance and GPS-denied navigation, assembled in the USA

    favicon

    ModalAI Technical Docs (docs.modalai.com)

    to have docker on my drone but i kind of want to use a more recent version of ubuntu because i want a more recent version of python to work with.

    like i want to be able to install more recent versions of numpy and opencv and pandas packages and run scripts on the drone itself.

    however, installing the pip version of python3 itself on roskinetic-xenial_v1_0 docker image is something of a pain itself. and in the end it doesn't work.

    i was looking for a solution where i didn't have to deal with outdated distributions...

    someone said they were able to do ros:noetic-robot a more recent version of python and ubuntu running but when i try to do it I get an error

    here is the forum post

    Out of space for docker load -i

    thanks for the feedback. I just ran through and updated the docs here: https://docs.modalai.com/docker-on-voxl/ It worked using the latest platform image

      @Syed-Omair you can find the Dockerfiles in this repo https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-docker-images/roskinetic-docker from there you could try to modify the base file to see if you can get it to work. VOXL 1 runs an old Linux kernel, so there are likely going to be some limitations
