How does authentication work with Docker Registry? Can I set a HTTP Basic username/password on the server and the client?

There is no built-in authentication right now. But usually, since a gunicorn app is usually recommended to run behind a webserver (like nginx), I usually put it behind an nginx, then nginx does auth + ssl. http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpAuthBasicModule

Probably at some point it'll make sense to build built-in auth to have a user base in a database for instance.

So the client knows how to do authentication?

Yes, Docker implements client-side SSL and HTTP basic auth.
