I want create a reusable app from a custom project.
The part I want to move to a reusable app serves whole pages and uses this at the top:
{% extends "myproject/base.html" %}
Now I am unsure what base template to use. In the new reusable app, I don't want to use myproject since this is custom code which I can't share.
I tried to get help from the great django docs, but could not find a solution - Forgive me if I was blind :-)
What to write here in a reusable app?
{% extends ??????? %}

You need to store those templates within the app folder.
Assuming you have a structure like myproject/myreusableapp you would create a templates folder inside myreusableapp folder and store your base.html file there.
You would then extend that file {% extends "myreusableapp/base.html" %}

Unfortunately django does not offer an official convention here.
There is a third party documentation project which defines these rules for reusable templates:
https://django-reusable-app-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/apps/templates.html
The issue to get a convention in the official django docs is open since 2012:
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/19106
Here is my ticket, which was closed as duplicate of above:
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/26501
... I hope an agreement will be found in the future.

I do it this way :
\project | +-\main | | | +-\template | | | | | +-\mainapp | | | | | +-base.html | | +-index.html | | +-... | | | +-\static | | | +-css | +-js | +-pics | +-... | +-\otherapp | +-... Where main is an app for standard operations (pager, login,...) and has the base templates and static for in it. Note that templates are stored in main/templates/main/.
In project settings.py, don't forget to register main/static in the STATICFILES_DIRS.
Then you can deploy using {% extends 'main/base.html' %}.
