That was fast. I was using the next branch and built the Dockerfile included in kas.

I had to create a daemon.json to set overlay2 as the storage driver, pass the USER_ID variable,
volume mount the project-x folder and manually set the proxy settings (for some reason using
build-args didn't work for me).

You know better than me ;)
I just checked the latest ref manual and apparently OE automatically sets them up.
