Hello! I have read a paper and try to run multi-robot slam simulation. When i follow the step 2--launch container from https://mistlab.ca/DOOR-SLAM/simulation.html, it seems stuck at mid of somewhere. question After "x11docker note: Found 'WORKDIR /home/docker/robust_distributed_slam_simulation/argos_simulation' in image. You can change it with option --workdir=DIR.", the program doesn't seem run anymore or it's stuck. Which step may i had mistakes? And what should i do now? Thanks for your reply!!!!

It seems you have literally used the command as given:

sudo x11docker --hostdisplay --hostnet --user=RETAIN -- --privileged -v HOST_FOLDER:/home/docker/robust_distributed_slam_simulation/argos_simulation/log -- lajoiepy/doorslam-argos-simulation:latest

But the instruction says:

Designate a folder ( HOST_FOLDER ) to share files between the host machine and the Docker container. The simulation results and logs will be store in this location. Create a folder named datasets inside the HOST_FOLDER.

So create a host folder and replace the word HOST_FOLDER accordingly.

Apart from that issue, maybe nothing visible should happen at this step. In step three you are told to access the container from a different shell with docker exec.

I just want to underline how cool this interaction was. I'm so happy to see that x11docker is being used by third-party application developers/users, then documented and read by other users, who are then coming for help and getting it in less than 24h. Nice work @mviereck!
