You are referring to a template that indent defined in the file.

And would recommend not using the LSIO image

Ok. Any perticular reason?

LinuxServer (LSIO) Issues

The Linuxserver.io image [linuxserver/kometa] is different to the OFFICIAL image [kometa-team/kometa] in a few ways that cause problems.

It keeps the Kometa files in a different place inside the image compared to official, so when you exec into it you can't just run Kometa, you need to cd into another dir first.

The default run time is 3:00am which coincides with Plex maintenance.

Generally speaking, we suggest you use the official Kometa image instead of lsio. Type !repos for more info.

Simplest template case:
config/my-collections.yml:

  Shared:
    bing:
    bang:
    boing:

collections:
  Christmas Films:
    template: { name: Shared }
    summary: "Oh it's Christmas time baby!!!!."

External template:
