Description

Context

I'd like to craft a story to take over the Java 25 builds from @wezell side of desk and get some idea with you on estimate. The first step story on the road should be pretty tight.

User Story

**AS A** dotcms user, 
**I WANT** a dotcms/dotcms docker image based on java 25 runtime for each release,
**SO THAT** I can start preparing for the sunset of dotÇMS based on Java 11 (announced in Q4 of 2025)  

REF


Outcomes

A single command to pull and run a full dotcms load on java25
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotCMS/core/main/docker/docker-compose-examples/single-node/docker-compose.yml | \
sed 's/image: dotcms\/dotcms:latest/image: dotcms\/dotcms:java25-testing/' | \
docker compose -f - up
A dotCMS cloud sandbox instance that always pulls the latest java25-testing image

Start with docker/docker-compose-examples/single-node/docker-compose.yml and the image substitution shown in the issue, then trace how the dotcms/dotcms images are built and published for releases. Validate that the java25-testing image can run the full single-node compose setup and that the staging sandbox pulls its latest version.
