 ### Building the Image
 ```bash

+docker build -t quotebot:2.5.1 .
 ```
 
 ### Running the Container
 #### Quick Start
 ( If running in the root directory )
 ```bash
-docker run --rm -it -d -e TOKEN=<your token here> quotebot:2.5.0
+docker run --rm -it -d -e TOKEN=<your token here> quotebot:2.5.1

 To reattach, run `docker attach quotebot`
 
 #### Explanation
 ```bash
 # Just using token
-docker run --rm -it -d -e TOKEN=<your token here> -v <absolute path to db directory>:/app/data/db --name quotebot quotebot:2.5.0
+docker run --rm -it -d -e TOKEN=<your token here> -v <absolute path to db directory>:/app/data/db --name quotebot quotebot:2.5.1
