+***Default values ​​specified***
+
+**Items marked with (*) should only be changed if you understand what you are doing.**
+
+### Base variables
+
+Distributed for platform containers (Python, NodeJS)
+
+Use the user and user ID under which the application is launched. This is necessary for correct access to files on mounted volumes.
+
+    USER_NAME=user1
+    USER_ID=1001
+
+(*) You can specify the desired home directory in the container.
+
+    HOME_DIR=/home/app
+
+Specify the necessary AlpineOS system dependencies separated by spaces. Will be used for all platforms.
+
+    OS_DEPS=
+
+### NGINX
+
+Select the desired version of NGINX (based on AlpineOS) at https://hub.docker.com
+
+    NGINX_IMAGE_VERSION=1.19-alpine
+
+Specify comma-separated domain names for the web server.
+
+    VIRTUAL_HOST=localhost, 127.0.0.1
+
+(*) You can specify the API port in the container.
+
+    API_PORT=8000
+
+### Python
+
+Select the desired version of Python (based on AlpineOS) at https://hub.docker.com
+
+    PYTHON_IMAGE_VERSION=3.9.5-alpine
+
+(*) If PipENV is used, this variable enables --dev packages to be installed.
+
+    PIPENV_DEV=false
+
+Specify the necessary AlpineOS system Python dependencies separated by spaces.
+
+    PYTHON_OS_DEPS=postgresql-dev gcc python3-dev musl-dev
+
+
+### PostgreSQL
+
+Select the desired version of PostgreSQL (based on AlpineOS) at https://hub.docker.com
+
+    POSTGRES_IMAGE_VERSION=13-alpine
+
+(*) PostreSQL global settings. Will be used for all platforms.
+
+    POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres
+    POSTGRES_USER=postgres
+    POSTGRES_HOST=postgres
+    POSTGRES_DB=postgres

+## **USAGE**
+
+Let's take an example.
+You have written an application using Python, NodeJS, Postgres, Redis and want to use NGINX as a web server. (pynongpgrd)
+You can use the XTMPL wrapper https://github.com/LexxXell/xtmpl or work with the template directly.
+
+Clone branch of the template into the project dir.
+
+    git clone --branch=pynongpgrd https://github.com/LexxXell/base_template.git .
+    git remote remove origin
+
+Run a reverse proxy server from the proxy directory.
+
+    docker-compose -f proxy/docker-compose.yml up -d
+
+Checking the work of the cloned branch:
+
+    docker-compose up --build
+
+Check the  output to the console, and for branches containing NGINX, we additionally go to the browser at http://localhost
+
+Customize the database connection in your applications following the example in the python/code and nodejs/code directories.
+Move your application code to the python/code and nodejs/code directories, after deleting the app,js/app.py files from there.
+Customize .env file to your liking.
+
+For security reasons, after making changes to the code, you need to rebuild the containers.
+All management of starting, building and stopping containers is done using docker-compose.
+
+To implement autostart, you need to add for the required services to the docker-compose.yml file
+
+    restart: always
