 ```
-$ docker run renovate/renovate
-$ docker run renovate/renovate:13.1.1
-$ docker run renovate/renovate:13.1
-$ docker run renovate/renovate:13
+$ docker run --rm renovate/renovate
+$ docker run --rm renovate/renovate:13.1.1
+$ docker run --rm renovate/renovate:13.1
+$ docker run --rm renovate/renovate:13
 ```
 
 (Please look up what the latest actual tags are though, do not use the above literally).
