 ## Usage
 
 First, pick the image tag you wish to use. Then, copy your `pyproject.toml` and `poetry.lock` files in the working directory (`/usr/src/app`), for optimal caching and run `poetry install`. Example:
 
 ```dockerfile
-FROM ghcr.io/withlogicco/poetry:1.8.0
+FROM ghcr.io/withlogicco/poetry:1.8.1
 
 COPY pyproject.toml poetry.lock ./
 RUN poetry install
