> **Note**
> The configuration files you put in the `etc` directory are actually added to `/usr/etc/` where they get applied to your local `/etc/` when rebasing to or updating the image. If a config file in `/etc/` has been changed, the changes won't be overridden, but the new version will be available in `/usr/etc/`. Run `sudo ostree admin config-diff` to see the difference between `/etc/` and `/usr/etc/` (`man ostree-admin-config-diff` for further documentation).
### Custom build scripts
If you want to execute custom shell script or commands in the image build, you shouldn't edit `build.sh` or the `Containerfile` directly. Instead, you can create a shell script in the `scripts/` directory (look at the `example.sh`). After creating your script, enable it in the `scripts:` section of your `recipe.yml`.
### Building multiple images ### Building multiple images
You can build multiple images using multiple `recipe.yml` files. They will share the Containerfile and everything else, but things like packages declared in the recipe will be different between the images. For a more robust multibuild setup, you could consider forking from the [ublue-os/main](https://github.com/ublue-os/main/) repo, which was built from the purpose.
