@hashmap The link you provided above is giving me a 404 error. Can you elaborate why local images won't work? Or in other words, why does Klar requires a remote docker registry credential in order for it to work?

According to clair/Documentation/integrations.md, analyze-local-images is a deprecated tool to analyze local Docker images.

Docker registry credential is only needed with your security Docker registry.

The link was posted a year ago. It was moved to https://github.com/coreos/analyze-local-images
The beginning of Klar's readme file says Klar. Integration of Clair and Docker Registry, so analyse of local images is just out of scope. We built the tool with a narrow use case in mind. Potentially it could be extended to analyze local images, the main value would be check before pushing to the registry. However it would require some serious coding effort, klar needs to emulate docker registry.
