rosforge doctor

Diagnose your ROS2 multi-machine setup:

# Local checks only
rosforge doctor

# Check peer connectivity too
rosforge doctor raspberrypi.local 192.168.1.42

Checks:

• ROS2 installation and distro detection
• RMW / DDS environment variables
• ROS_DOMAIN_ID and ROS_LOCALHOST_ONLY
• Network interface enumeration
• Multicast reachability
• UFW / iptables firewall rules blocking UDP
• DDS port availability (7400–7411)
• NTP clock synchronization
• ROS2 daemon health
• Cross-distro compatibility warnings
• Live topic discovery smoke-test
• Per-peer: ICMP ping + UDP reachability

Every failure comes with a specific fix command.
