I can not download docker images from `docker.elastic.co` in private network eviroment.  
So if we could set operator command line flags such as: `--default-registry=xxx.xxx.xxx`, it would be more convenience to use eck where network can not access internet.

Sounds like a good feature request. Would you mind creating an issue on [https://github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s](https://github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s)?

The workaround so far is to specify the `image` field in your Elasticsearch, Kibana, APMServer yaml manifest. [This doc explains how to create and use your own image](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-custom-images.html).

Issue have submitted.  
I knew docker image can be specified, but sometimes would get confused when using `image` with `version` field, so if we can specify registry, the yaml config would be more concise.
