 # Navigation2 Docker Image
 
 The Navigation2 Docker image uses the Space ROS docker image (*osrf/space-ros:latest*) as its base image.

+The Navigation2 Dockerfile installs all of the prerequisite system dependencies to build Navigation2.
+All the required nav2 packages are cloned and built from sources using the `navigation2.repos` file. The `nav2_rviz_plugins` and `nav2_bringup` packages together with their dependencies (Rviz, Gazebo, etc) are excluded to reduce package dependencies. The image also contains a custom `space_nav2_bringup` package that can be used as a starting point for creating mission-specific nav2 launch files.

+## Updating navigation2 packages
+The `navigation2.repos` file available in this repository provides a list of repos that are required to build the nav2 stack. ROS packages already included in the SpaceROS base image are omited from this file.
+
+To update navigation2 packages used to build the space nav2 image, run the `docker_update_nav2_repos.sh` script:
+
+```
+./docker_update_nav2_repos.sh
+```
+
+This will update the `navigation2.repos` file with the newest versions of nav2 packages. The script resolves missing packages in base spaceros image and creates a list with their latest versions. The `navigation2.repos` file is then copied during build to the docker image with space nav2, and packages specified in the file are cloned and installed.
+
+To generate a list of required packages for any other ROS workspace (e.g. your custom workspace built on top of SpaceROS that already has some nav2 dependencies installed), consider using the `update_nav2_repos.sh` as your starting point. You may also need to clone `generate-repos.sh` script from the main spaceros repository.
