Wondering how others do dev work on the image registry portion of cockpit. Here's what I'm trying...

I have minishift running in a VM w/ the registry bits turned on and accessible. Separate VM has my cockpit dev env set up but the "Image Registry" tab says simply "Couldn't connect to server". Debugging I see it's trying to use localhost but that there are a couple env vars that I could potentially set. My attempts have not worked, though. It is also calling kubectl I think so should I manually config that on the cockpit VM?

Suggestions welcome!
