Hi Artem,

Thanks for your suggestion. I agree with you, the link of postman seems
necessary.
For the default value of BASE_PATH, if the user is using docker at
localhost, it's OK to set it as localhost:38080, but if he's using a remote
machine as docker host, the ip address would be unknown. I think it's OK to
modify the default value to localhost:38080, but in document we still need
to remind user the potential modification.

Thanks,
Lionel
