Source of the issue: Missing "type" in the custom catalog

Command: ewc hub --path-to-catalog custom-catalog.yaml deploy ewc-xcube-viewer --security-groups ssh-http-https --item-inputs tenancy_name="internal-eumetsat-dataprocessing" --item-inputs federee="EUMETSAT"

Steps to Reproduce

create custom catalog file:
