 1. Build the docker image:
    ```bash
-   docker image build \
-       -t pytorch-lightning:v1.3.1 \
-       -f dockers/nvidia/Dockerfile \
-       --build-arg LIGHTNING_VERSION=1.3.1 \
-       .
+   docker image build -t pytorch-lightning:v1.6.5 -f dockers/nvidia/Dockerfile --build-arg LIGHTNING_VERSION=1.6.5 .
    ```
 1. start the server and map ports:
    ```bash
-   docker run --rm -it --runtime=nvidia -e NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all -p 8888:8888 pytorch-lightning:v1.3.1
+   docker run --rm -it --runtime=nvidia -e NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all -p 8888:8888 pytorch-lightning:v1.6.5
    ```
