Severity/Priority
Medium
Additional Context
This could be worked-around by setting the registry mode variable to external
variables:
zarf-init:
INIT_REGISTRY_URL: "registry.localhost:5001"
INIT_REGISTRY_MODE: "external"
Steps to reproduce
Expected result
use of external registry works as expected and bundle deploys successfully.
