This is reall cool ! I assume the built image will be available inside minikube. Is there any way they could push that image to outside minikube too ?

Could you provide couple example real world use cases that you have in your mind ?

Sure, but unfortunately crictl only knows "pull" - it doesn't know "tag" or "push".
So just like with the missing "load" command, one would have to talk to the engine.

That is: after building the image, you would use either docker or podman to upload.
Of course, you would also have to sort out the credentials so probably need "login".

I prefer to discuss the implementation here, but can do some more examples in #4868

The basic use case is just being able to convert a Dockerfile into a container image.

I'm going to close this one as a PoC, until we some more buy-in on the concept (#4868)
