Description

Right now the dockerfile.v0 frontend reads the docker config file. This means I either need to generate it using docker login, or manually, which is not great.

Perhaps I just didn't find the flag, but this is what README.md says as well.

Research direction

Read README.md and trace how the dockerfile.v0 frontend currently reads the Docker config file. Identify the command-line entry point and determine how private-registry credentials should be supplied through arguments; done means a private registry can be used without first generating a config file.
