Regarding these two steps:
# Clone and enter the repo
git clone https://github.com/dreamfast/heretic-docker.git
cd heretic-docker
[...]
# Build the container (first time takes a while - NGC base is ~20GB)
./heretic.sh build
I wonder about the download size—not the storage space required, but the downward network traffic. Does the git clone command download about ~20GB that then the build command uses once it's already there?
The Internet is super slow in the building where I live. Downloading ~20GB to my desktop would take eight hours and hog the bandwidth during this time. I like to take my laptop to places with public Wi-Fi for large downloads, then copy stuff from my laptop to an external storage drive, then copy the stuff from the external storage drive to my desktop. I typically use cp -a or rsync -a. Would I be able to do that with heretic-docker, or would it be messy and error-prone? My laptop and desktop both run the same native Linux OS in case that matters.
