Preparing GitLab Project for a Template
In order to get access to platform-managed templates storage, you need to create an account at the dedicated shared GitLab CI system first.
1. Log in with your credentials and create a new project, where your custom template will be stored. Use the appropriate + button at the top panel.

2. Next, specify the prefered Project name (e.g., custom-tomcat) and click Create project below.

3. Before proceeding further, we recommend to adjust your repository due to the commonly accepted formatting rules - e.g., to add README.md with a short project description or any other information you consider to be necessary.

When your GitLab project is ready, proceed to customizing template in Dockerfile.
