If i want to upgrade nexus to a specific version do I need to specify the version to the latest 3.65 as tag in the docker-compose file or i need not specify the tag so it updates to the latest ?

In the document on your site, there are 2 ports 8081 and 8085...I know 8081 is nexus default port..will the 8085 be my own personal port when I pulled my docker image from docker hub or not...please explain.Thanks
