Create new CI / CD only project on self-hosted GitLab

I am setting up GitLab on a local machine for the first time. It seemed to go smoothly, but I noticed a difference with the gitlab.com version. On gitlab.com when you create a new Project, there is an additional tab (called: CI/CD for external repo) I was particularly interested in doing this on my self-hosted GitLab (basically, I want to connect it to an existing GitHub repo and do the CI/CD in my local GitLab instance).

Now this is what it looks like on gitlab.com

And this is what it looks like on my local self-hosted GitLab instance:

The question is - can I activate that option somewhere to also configure projects in a CI/CD for external repo setup on my self-hosted local GitLab instance?

Thanks!

Hi! This is a premium feature, you can see how this works in https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/ci_cd_for_external_repos/
