Research direction

Review the DockerHub image page and the linked rust-lang/docker-rust#60 discussion to confirm how nightly usage is currently described. Done means the official image page clearly advises users interested in the nightly channel to prefer the referenced rustlang/rust image.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This is not covered on the DockerHub image page.

I came across this issue which mentions rustlang/rust and links to the official image. It would be nice to have a mention of preferring that image from the official one as well when interested in the nightly channel.
