+## Base info
+Here you can find simple gstreamer dockerfile and necessary scripts to work with GUI.  
+Scripts will not work on windows directly. It is assumed that you will be using WSL for work.
+
+Other way, would be using run.bat script as shown under this thread
+https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73092750/how-to-show-gui-apps-from-docker-desktop-container-on-windows-11
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Run build.sh script with container name: e.g.
+    - `build.sh gstreamer-base`
+2. Run run.sh script with same container name: e.g.
+    - `run.sh gstreamer-base`
+    - if you're using Windows you can try (to be fair, I don't know much about powershell scripting, so this is generated by AI):
+        - `run.ps1 -ContainerName gstreamer-base -Build`
+3. In opened bash verify that gui is opening correctly:
+    - `gst-launch1.0 videotestsrc ! autovideoconvert ! autovideosink`
+
+If video sink is not visible on the screen:
+1. Make sure that wsl2 is active.
+2. Make sure that WSLg is supported (should be built-in on windows 11)
