A safe yum.conf would not break my server

Support
1

I am on Almalinux8 KVM VPS and trying to configure yum.conf in a way that would not break php, apache, mariadb
currently my yum.config of new OS install with Apache2.4, php8.1, MariaDB 10.6:
[main]
gpgcheck=1
installonly_limit=3
clean_requirements_on_remove=True
best=True
skip_if_unavailable=False

and my repolist is:
repo id repo name
MariaDB106 MariaDB106
appstream AlmaLinux 8 - AppStream
baseos AlmaLinux 8 - BaseOS
epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64
extras AlmaLinux 8 - Extras
remi-modular Remi’s Modular repository for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64
remi-safe Safe Remi’s RPM repository for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

I think your configuration is mostly fine

But as soon as you are using 3rd party repositories (EPEL, MariaDB, remi…) this means you rely on more providers, so you need to choose carefully the ones you trust.
