Transform this repository into a ROS2 package - which allows it to be launched like via ros2 launch as any other node.

Hi @wuehr1999 ☕ 👋

I've made some first steps towards transforming this repository towards a Python ROS2 package. Alas, its not really working. Can you please take a look at this and fix-up the missing parts of the node-setup and configuration?

I also imagine that somewhere the webgui directory path needs to be passed to the SimpleHTTPRequest handler. That could be done via ROS parameters and launch file (the same launch file that I imagine can be used to launch the rosbridge_webserver at the very same time) conveniently catching multiple flies with one singular strike 😁 .

Hi @aentinger,
in my opinion this package should not be delivered as a (Python) ROS2 package. Basically the frontend has nothing to do with Python or ROS on the system. It would be better to make it available as a debian package, that installs it as a service providing the static elements of the webpage.

Well, then we agree to disagree. This "software package" takes ROS topics and provides a GUI using a web-browser. Turning it into a ROS package will streamline installation of all L3XZ related software packages as they are all ROS packages. I'll proceed down this path 😝
