Well, it is certainly possible to pull images from the gitlab.Com
registry:

    $ docker image pull registry.gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/base:20220206.1756
    20220206.1756: Pulling from buildroot.org/buildroot/base

    registry.gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/base:20220206.1756

And as far as I can see, there is even no need to be logged in...

The image used for the Buildroot CI is I belive a very good basis for
building one's own image; that's what I do at $work, where my reference
build environment are docker iamges which Dockerfiles all begin with:
    FROM registry.gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/base:20220206.1756

Sicne the gitlab docker registry is publicly available, it would be my
opinion that we drop the iamges on the docker hub. Indeed, docker hub is
rate-limited on the free tier, so unless one has a paid tier, one can't
rely on images hosted in the docker hub.

I don't think it is in our manual, except the use of the
utils/docker-run script certainly is hinted about (chapter 17, Adding
support for a particular board).

Extended documentation is most welcome, though! :-)
