No latest tag for centos image

[esimest]

When i try docker pull centos, I get Error response from daemon: manifest for centos:latest not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown error

The "latest" tag was deleted intentionally to help signal to users that it is not updated and the entire repository is long-since EOL/deprecated and usage should be updated (see the notice at the top of https://hub.docker.com/_/centos).

If you need what "latest" used to point to, that's centos:8. If you need something newer, you'll need to look elsewhere (other distros, other sources of CentOS images).

Note that even CentOS 8 (the newest version in this repository) was fully EOL ~3 years ago (31 Dec 2021), and the centos:8 image was last updated roughly a year earlier than that (16 Nov 2020).
