 # Exordos Core Base Image
 
-This is a base image for Exordos Core project. The image contains all necessary tools and libraries to be used in Exordos installations.
+This repository builds two base images for Exordos Core project. The images contain all necessary tools and libraries to be used in Exordos installations.
+
+## Images
+
+- **exordos-base** - Full-featured base image using Ubuntu 26 profile with 4.5GB disk size
+- **exordos-base-minimal** - Minimal base image using Ubuntu 26 minimal profile with 3.8GB disk size
 
 The key features are:
 
 - [Universal Agent](https://github.com/infraguys/gcl_sdk/wiki/universal_agent) service.
 - Exordos root autoresize service. Tries to perform resize of the root partition at every boot if it's possible.
 - Exordos bootstrap service. Runs the bootstrap scripts.
 
-# 🛠️ Build
+## 🛠️ Build
 
 You need [DevTools](https://github.com/exordos/exordos) to build the image. Look at the [install](https://github.com/exordos/exordos/blob/master/README.md#install) section for details.

 Where `~/.ssh/key.pub` is your public key for the image.
 
-Also you may set the `GEN_USER_PASSWD` environment variable to change the default user password.
+This command builds both images: `exordos-base` and `exordos-base-minimal`.
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+You can customize the build using the following environment variables:
+
+- `GEN_USER_PASSWD` - Set the default user password (default: "ubuntu")
+- `GEN_SDK_VERSION` - Specify the SDK version to install (default: "3.0.5")
+- `LOCAL_GENESIS_SDK_PATH` - Path to local SDK copy for development purposes
+
+Examples:
 
 ```bash
+# Set custom user password
 export GEN_USER_PASSWD=secret
 exordos build -i ~/.ssh/key.pub -f .
-```
 
-To build with local copy of the SDK, export the `LOCAL_GENESIS_SDK_PATH` environment variable:
+# Use specific SDK version
+export GEN_SDK_VERSION=3.0.5
+exordos build -i ~/.ssh/key.pub -f .
 
-```bash
+# Build with local copy of the SDK
 export LOCAL_GENESIS_SDK_PATH=/path/to/gcl_sdk
 exordos build -i ~/.ssh/key.pub -f .
-```

+## 📃 Bootstrap scripts
 
-For next images in hierarchy you can add scripts that are executed at the very first boot of the node. Actually it can be any executable file and not only bash scripts. Put your scripts in the `/var/lib/exordos/bootstrap/scripts` directory and they will be executed in the order of the files in the directory.
