Centos 8 Stream EOL was 31.05.24 - per https://blog.centos.org/2023/04/end-dates-are-coming-for-centos-stream-8-and-centos-linux-7/
The centos:stream8 image has the default URL for repos, which are deprecated.
Archived packages are available in the vault repository. There will be no further package builds.
Rather than update the repos to use an archival vault, let's switch to a base that is consistent but still actively maintained.
This gives additional time until for migration until Rocky Linux 9 as default #50.
Note that the rockylinux:8 image does not include xargs by default. This is used in the build process. xargs is provided by the findutils package which has been added to the image.
