Update: The image is now available on Docker Hub at: https://hub.docker.com/r/xsangle/antosaio (image:
xsangle/antosaio:latest). This post has been updated with the latest instructions on how to host a local instance of AntOS VDE using Docker.
Building and setting up AntOS from scratch can be complex, as it requires configuring and connecting many backend and front-end components. To simplify the use of AntOS as a self-hosted environment, I have created a Docker image layer for an all-in-one AntOS system that contains everything needed to host AntOS on your server. This layer allows you to build a minimal Docker image with a working AntOS system out-of-the-box:
The Docker images are available at: https://hub.docker.com/r/xsangle/antosaio/
Follow the steps below to create an AntOS instance. First, create the working directory (e.g., /tmp/antos). All user data will be stored in this location. In this example, we use /tmp/antos, but in a real scenario, you should use a permanent storage location.
# modify with your own working directory
mkdir -p /tmp/antos
Run a container with docker
docker run \
-p 8080:80 \
--rm \
-v /tmp/antos:/app \
-e ANTOS_USER=demo \
-e ANTOS_PASSWORD=demo \
-it xsangle/antosaio:latest
Or with docker compose: docker-compose.yml
version: '3.7'
services:
antos:

memory: 200m
cpus: '0.5'
hostname: demo
environment:

volumes:

Run:
docker compose up
AntOS is now accessible via http://localhost:8080/os/ or using IP address http://YOUR_MACHINE_IP:8080/os/
The docker image provides user with a ready to go (out-of-the-box) AntOS VDE system. This is useful in many user-cases:
When evaluating the performance of a SLAM algorithm, quantifying the produced map quality is one of the most important criteria. Often, the produced map is compared with (1) a ground-truth map (which can be easily obtained in simulation) or (2) with another existing map that is considered accurate (in case of real world experiment where the ground-truth is not always available ).
Basically, grid maps are images, so image similarity measurement metrics can be used in this case. In this post, we consider three different metrics: Mean Square Error (MSE), K-nearest based normalized error (NE) and Structure Similarity Index (SSIM)
When i developed this blog (using my own client-server platform such as web server, back-end, front-end, etc., built from ash/scratch :) ), i simply designed it as a simple "note book" where i put my ideas or some stuffs that i have done. So, initially, there are no category no advance feature like post suggestion based on current post, etc. It is just a bunch of posts sorting by date. The thing is, i usually work on many different domains (robotic, IoT, backend, frontend platform design, etc.), so my posts are mixed up between different categories. It is fine for me, but is a real inconvenience for readers who want to follow up their interesting category on the blog. Of course, i could redesign the blog and add the missing features by messing around with the relational database design (i'm using SQLite btw), manually classifying the posts in the back-end, etc. But, i'm a kind of lazy people, so i've been thinking of a more automatic solution. How about an automatic document clustering feature based on a data mining approach ? Here we go!
Some of my old posts show how to program the ARM Cortex M0 LPC chip in a bare metal manner, although this approach provides a simple setup that requires no additional libraries, it is only for the studying purpose. It is not a good options for production since your code will be highly platform dependent and you need to handle so many low level stuffs (e.g. registers configuration). The Newlib offers a more productive way by providing a standard C interface to abstract the development on such embedded system. In using Newlib, the code is a lot simpler and more portable.
