You need at least : "name". you can configure many templates (and yours !).

Few tips:

• if you need another root (glpi, phpmyadmin... etc), you can specify "root"
• you can use your own templates, you must keep the same directory organization
• you should see COMMON.j2 to see all abilities

You can see many examples in: tests/test.yml.
