+<h1 align="center">Portainer Templates</h1>
+<p align="center"><i>A compiled list of 400+ ready to go Portainer App templates</i></p>
+
+> **TL;DR** Under Settings → App Templates in your Portainer GUI, paste this URL:<br>
+> `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lissy93/portainer-templates/main/templates.json`<br>
+
+
+## Intro
+
+In Portainer, [App Templates](https://docs.portainer.io/user/docker/templates) enable you to easily deploy a container with a predetermined configuration, while allowing you to customize options through the web UI. Both single containers, and stacks are supported. While Portainer ships with some default templates (see [portainer/templates](https://github.com/portainer/templates)), it's often helpful to have 1-click access to many more apps, without having to constantly switch template sources.
+
+This repo combines app templates from several [sources](#sources), to create a ready-to-go template file containing all the apps you'll ever need.
+
+---
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Log into your Portainer web UI
+2. Under Settings --> App Templates, update the URL to
+    - `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lissy93/portainer-templates/main/templates.json`
+3. Now under Home --> App Templates, you should see all apps. Click one to deploy.
+
+Alternatively, when you start Portainer, you can append the `--templates` flag pointing to the templates URL. 
+
+---
+
+## Self-Hosting
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/lissy93/portainer-templates.git portainer-templates
+cd portainer-templates
+docker build -t portainer-templates .
+docker run -d -p "8080:80" portainer-templates
+```
+
+Your templates file will then be served up, at: `http://docker-host:8080/templates.json`
+
+Or, to mount the `templates.json` file to your container, so that you can make changes to it, and have them show up within Portainer
+
+```
+docker run -d -p "8080:80" -v "${PWD}/templates.json:/usr/share/nginx/html/templates.json" portainer-templates
+```
+
+---
+
+## Editing
+
+The `template.json` file is generated using the scripts in [`lib`](https://github.com/Lissy93/portainer-templates/tree/main/lib), using GitHub Actions.
+Running the `make` command will download all listed sources, parse them, and combine them outputting the `templates.json` file. 
+
+### Adding a new Source
+Just place a link to the source, along with your chosen name in the [`sources.csv`](https://github.com/Lissy93/portainer-templates/blob/main/sources.csv) file.
+When the action runs, it will download the content, parse it and add it to the final template.
+
+### Adding a Template / Template list
+Alternatively, place your template file within the [`external-templates`](https://github.com/Lissy93/portainer-templates/tree/main/external-templates) directory, and it will be automatically combined into the main `template.json`.
+Be sure that your template corresponds to [Portainer's App Template JSON Format](https://docs.portainer.io/advanced/app-templates/format).
+
+### Validating Templates
+There is a schema defined in [`Schema.json`](https://github.com/Lissy93/portainer-templates/blob/main/Schema.json), which can be used to validate any Portainer template.
+Run `make validate` to ensure your template conforms to Portainer's App Template [specification](https://docs.portainer.io/advanced/app-templates/format).
+
+### Maintaining your own Templates
+If you'd prefer to maintain your own templates, while using the templates included here as a base, then fork the repository, and update `lissy93` with your GitHub username
