 # Tags
 I will always release the latest Monero version under the `latest` tag as well as the version number tag (i.e. `v0.17.1.9`).
 
+`latest`: The latest tagged version of Monero from https://github.com/monero-project/monero/tags
+`vx.xx.x.x`: The version corresponding with the tagged version from https://github.com/monero-project/monero/tags
+
+# Recommended usage

+I am using this container for my guide on running a Monero node:
