I defer to Devrim on if the PostgreSQL YUM Repo supports AlmaLinux. I
did see some random Internet instructions that shows how to install
packages from the PostgreSQL YUM repo onto AlmaLinux systems.

For the OS distro, do you have a reference to which PostgreSQL packages
are available natively in Alma? I wasn't able to find it in my five
minutes of searching (though I did find the repo list)[1].

Thanks,

Jonathan
