 The most straightforward way to use this image is to use a Go container as both the build and runtime environment. In your `Dockerfile`, writing something along the lines of the following will compile and run your project:
 
 ```dockerfile
-FROM %%IMAGE%%:1.8
+FROM %%IMAGE%%:1.13
 
 WORKDIR /go/src/app
 COPY . .

 There may be occasions where it is not appropriate to run your app inside a container. To compile, but not run your app inside the Docker instance, you can write something like:
 
 ```console
-$ docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp %%IMAGE%%:1.8 go build -v
+$ docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp %%IMAGE%%:1.13 go build -v
 ```
 
 This will add your current directory as a volume to the container, set the working directory to the volume, and run the command `go build` which will tell go to compile the project in the working directory and output the executable to `myapp`. Alternatively, if you have a `Makefile`, you can run the `make` command inside your container.
 
 ```console
-$ docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp %%IMAGE%%:1.8 make
+$ docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp %%IMAGE%%:1.13 make

 If you need to compile your application for a platform other than `linux/amd64` (such as `windows/386`):
 
 ```console
-$ docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp -e GOOS=windows -e GOARCH=386 %%IMAGE%%:1.8 go build -v
+$ docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp -e GOOS=windows -e GOARCH=386 %%IMAGE%%:1.13 go build -v

 Alternatively, you can build for multiple platforms at once:
 
 ```console
-$ docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp %%IMAGE%%:1.8 bash
+$ docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp %%IMAGE%%:1.13 bash
