1. Install dependencies:

dnf -y install yum-utils

2. Disable existing repositories:

[ -f /etc/yum.repos.d/almalinux-ha.repo               ] && mv /etc/yum.repos.d/almalinux-ha.repo               /etc/yum.repos.d/almalinux-ha.repo.disabled

3. Create repository configuration file:

Important

Replace AlmaLinux with the Rocky and RPM-GPG-KEY-AlmaLinux with RPM-GPG-KEY-rockyofficial if using Rocky Linux.
