Problems running a transient docker container

[Jonathan A.]

I'm trying to get Salt to run a "transient" docker container but not having much luck. This docker container merely creates a few files on the host and then exits. The problem I'm having with docker_container.running is that either it doesn't always run it (if I set start: False), or it demands that it is running after the state is done, which it won't be. Is there any way to tell Salt I don't care if it is running when it is done?

mydeploycontainer:

  docker_container.running:

    - name: mydeploycontainer

    - image: quay.io/xx/mydeploy:develop

    - environment: 'INSTALL_ONLY=y'

    - start: True

    - require:

      - docker-pip-pkg
