Local docker registry

A local docker repo is a real container registry, not a mirror: it serves the Docker Registry HTTP API V2 for both push and pull, so any client (docker, podman, skopeo, buildah) can use it directly.

docker tag myapp:latest artifactapi.example.com/docker-internal/myapp:latest
docker push        artifactapi.example.com/docker-internal/myapp:latest
docker pull        artifactapi.example.com/docker-internal/myapp:latest

The first path segment after /v2/ is the artifactapi repo name; the remainder is the image name. Blobs and manifests are stored through the shared content-addressable store (deduplicated by digest, reaped by GC once unreferenced); tags are mutable references and re-pushing a tag moves it. Blob uploads support both the monolithic and chunked (POST/PATCH/PUT) flows.
