Description
got a fun one here - the base image that we use for all our docker images, Ubuntu 20.04 is now officially out of support. We need to update to Ubuntu 24.04, which seems to work out of the box. The issue is that with our pipelines, I don't see an easy way to do that in a branch.
I've already built the ubuntu-24.04 java-base image dotcms/java-base:24.04_21.0.7-ms, but without changing pipeline env vars or scripts, I don't see how force our main image to use Ubuntu 24.04 or to use the new base image without overwriting the existing java-base:21.07-ms . I might be missing something or did we get too clever with the build pipelines?

Research direction
Start by tracing the pipeline environment variables and scripts that select the current java-base:21.07-ms image, then compare that path with the built dotcms/java-base:24.04_21.0.7-ms image. Done means the main Docker images build from Ubuntu 24.04 through a reproducible pipeline path without overwriting the existing base-image tag.
