+# dbm-example
+
+Custom Workbench application based on quay.io/jupyter/base-notebook.
+
+## Configuration
+
+- **Image**: quay.io/jupyter/base-notebook
+- **Port**: 8888
+- **User**: rishabhc
+- **Home Directory**: /home/jovyan
+
+## Access
+
+Once deployed in Workbench, access your terminal at the app URL (port 8888).
+
+For local testing:
+1. Create Docker network: `docker network create app-network`
+2. Run the app: `devcontainer up --workspace-folder .`
+3. Access at: `http://localhost:8888`
+
+## Customization
+
+Edit the following files to customize your app:
+
+- `.devcontainer.json` - Devcontainer configuration and features
+- `docker-compose.yaml` - Docker Compose configuration (change the `command` to customize ttyd options)
+- `devcontainer-template.json` - Template options and metadata
+
+## Testing
+
+To test this app template:
+
+```bash
+cd test
+./test.sh dbm-example
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Fork the repository
+2. Modify the configuration files as needed
+3. In Workbench UI, create a custom app pointing to your forked repository
+4. Select this app template (dbm-example)
