Hi everyone,
I'm working on a project where I want to stream video from the Raspberry Pi Camera using Picamera2 within a ROS2 Docker container.
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
What I’ve Done So Far:
1.Camera works fine on host OS
I tested the Raspberry Pi Camera using tools like rpicam-hello and it works perfectly outside the container.
2.Started with a ROS2 Jazzy Docker Image
I pulled and ran the ros:jazzy Docker image using:Then I tried to install and run picamera2, but got the error:3.Tried to install picamera2 manually
Attempted to install it via pip, but it depends on system-level packages like libcamera, pykms, etc., which caused additional issues.
4.Switched to prebuilt ROS2 Humble Docker with Picamera2
I found this repository, which looked promising because it includes ROS2 Humble with picamera2 support preconfigured.
can found in this link:
https://github.com/nagtsnegge/PiCamera2 ... le-Docker
5. Build failed with KMS++ error
When building the Docker image from that repo:It failed during the kmsxx installation step with a ninja build error:I even tried patching the build process with:But it didn’t fix the error.

Clik here to view. My Goal:
I want to run picamera2 inside a ROS2 Docker container (Jazzy or Humble, doesn't matter), streaming from the Raspberry Pi camera, and eventually use this camera input in ROS2 nodes.
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view. What I Need Help With:
- Has anyone successfully used picamera2 in a Docker container with ROS2?
- Is there a better base image or Dockerfile example that works out of the box?
- How can I work around the kmsxx / pykms build errors?
Any suggestions, working examples, or ideas are welcome!
Thanks in advance Image may be NSFW.
