+I version SLDN by dates, so I keep the dates in the container tag, you can change `20250526` to `latest` or whatever when building locally.

+```bash
+# To be able to pull from IBM private registry
+$> ibmcloud cr login --client podman
+$> podman build . -t sldn:20250526
+$> podman run -p 1313:1313 sldn:20250526
