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
