Using IP address instead of hostname to sync masters #183

Closed mariocorsanici closed 1 year ago

mariocorsanici commented 1 year ago

Hello,

I am trying to run multimaster in a docker container and I want to automate the sync procedure between the masters without modifying the /etc/hosts file, since it's a system file. Is it possible to use the IP address instead of the hostname to communicate with the masters?

Hi, you have to set the ROS_IP environment variable before starting the roscore and other ROS nodes. This should be enough.
