 ## Building Docker image
 
 The ["docker"](/.github/workflows/docker.yaml) workflow should be triggered manually with the following inputs:
-- `target` — either `hotblocks` or `sqd-archive`.
+- `target` — one of `hotblocks`, `hotblocks-retain`, or `sqd-archive`.
 - `tag` — a 8-byte hash of the commit. This will be the published docker tag.
 - `platforms` — platforms to build for. Using only `linux/amd64` instead of default values can save a lot of building time.
