[4] To access via HTTPS and use valid certificates like from Let's Encrypt and so on, Configure like follows.
This example is based on the environment that certificates have been gotten under the [/etc/letsencrypt/live/dlp.srv.world].
root@dlp:~#
cp -p /etc/letsencrypt/live/dlp.srv.world/{fullchain,privkey}.pem /etc/containers/registries.conf.d/

root@dlp:~#
chown docker-registry /etc/containers/registries.conf.d/{fullchain,privkey}.pem

root@dlp:~#
vi /etc/docker/registry/config.yml
# add [tls] section under the [http] section like follows

.....
.....
http:
  addr: :5000
  tls:
    certificate: /etc/containers/registries.conf.d/fullchain.pem
    key: /etc/containers/registries.conf.d/privkey.pem
  headers:
    X-Content-Type-Options: [nosniff]
.....
.....

root@dlp:~#
systemctl restart docker-registry
# verify possible to access
# on HTTPS connection, it does not need to add [insecure-registries] on Docker

root@node01:~#
podman pull dlp.srv.world:5000/debian:my-registry
