Hey guys, how do I pick the latest version that is stable? And what does exp.0 mean? I am not a developer so maybe I misunderstand the “stable” name here under a “latest” label. I normally just use the latest one and be done with it. Or is it my responsibility to research before any update? I read…

siga por aqui n8nio/n8n - Docker Image @mailfraud

Leads to the same version. But thanks!

@kjooleng Thanks. I was just trying to understand the nomenclature - but there seems to be none :smiley: Thanks anyway.
