+### Using a Custom Mongo Image
+You can utilize an alternative MongoDB docker image using the `mongodb-image` input:
+
+
+```yaml
+    - name: Start MongoDB
+      uses: supercharge/mongodb-github-action@1.11.0
+      with:
+        # Here we are using an image from Amazon's ECR rather than the default image from Docker Hub
+        mongodb-image: 'public.ecr.aws/docker/library/mongo'
+        mongodb-version: ${{ matrix.mongodb-version }}
+```
 
 ### With Authentication (MongoDB `--auth` Flag)
 Setting the `mongodb-username` and `mongodb-password` inputs. As per the [Dockerhub documentation](https://hub.docker.com/_/mongo), this automatically creates an admin user and enables `--auth` mode.
