Example usage:

# docker-compose.yaml
services:
    kindwrind:
        image: binbashing/kindwrind
        privileged: true
        ports:
            - 6443:6443
            - 5000:5000
        volumes:
            - ${KUBECONFIG_DIR:-~/.kube}:/kubeconfig

# Start kindwrind
docker compose up -d

# Pull a public image
docker pull nginx:latest

## Tag image for local registry
docker tag nginx:latest localhost:5000/nginx:latest

## Push image to local registry
docker push localhost:5000/nginx:latest

## Create a Kubernetes deployment using the local registry image
kubectl create deployment hello-server --image=localhost:5000/nginx:latest 

Note: You can specify a custom Kubernetes version using the KUBERNETES_VERSION environment variable (e.g., KUBERNETES_VERSION=v1.33.0). When set, Kind will create the cluster using --image kindest/node:$KUBERNETES_VERSION.
