#134 points out that there is no documentation on how to set up a local registry.   In addition, the reason the documentation and demos use a local registry is not explained.
containertool is currently only able to push an image to a registry - it cannot push to the local container runtime's image store.    If pushing to a public registry or private network registry is not suitable, a local instance of registry:2 can be used instead.   The documentation should make this clear.
Gaining the ability to push directly to a local engine's image store (#68), or save to disk, would provide alternatives to using a local registry.
