so people don't try to run the commands in the container's bash

@jayenashar I know this is an old PR, but I'm trying to follow the instructions and the logic, and don't understand... if I run the nvidia-ducker run -it above, and then "exit the container", what's the point of running the docker run? since it isn't detached, exiting it will simply stop the container... furthermore, it seems that the logic in here actually starts another container anyway, so I'm confused about this

builder/cron/build_docker.sh

Lines 120 to 127 in 52c2f25

	# Image
	docker_args+=" ${docker_image}"
	##############################################################################
	# We start a container and detach it such that we can run
	# a series of commands without nuking the container
	echo "Starting container for image ${docker_image}"
	id=$(nvidia-docker run ${docker_args} /bin/cat)

perhaps the instructions are outdated?

i can't recall and i've given up on building pytorch packages, but i would guess it's to pre-download the image. i didn't write lines 11-13 so i really don't know. you may also notice the --rm which will remove the stopped container.
