Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
CentOS is now EOL (https://www.centos.org/centos-linux-eol/) and is the OS of the base Docker image used for the development and CI setup.
The YUM repository was removed from the CentOS update servers, and therefore packages cannot be installed. We are pointing to a mirror in the existing Dockerfile - meaning there will be no updates, so this is a temporary fix.
Describe the solution you'd like
Switch the Dockerfile to a base image from an actively maintained Linux distribution (debian:bullseye-slim is proposed).
Describe alternatives you've considered
