Use an image store like Docker as a real OCI image registry to simplify pulls of locally built images.

go install github.com/ndbaker1/regi@latest

For example; if you are running a Docker-in-Docker setup such as KinD, you can insert this block into containerd hosts config to add a fallback to docker host.

# /etc/containerd/certs.d/_default/hosts.toml
[host."http://host.docker.internal:5000"]
    capabilities = ["pull", "resolve"]

start regi:
