The latest unattended installation script installs Remi Repo and MariaDB’s community repo on RHEL 8 in order to install PHP 8.2 and MariaDB 10.11 respectively. However, both are natively available in Red Hat’s app stream repositories since version 8.10 of RHEL, and supported up to 2029 and 2028 respectively.

It wouldn’t be too hard to modify the script ourselves, but I thought it would be better for all of it was done at the source. A simple check to test if the OS version is at 8.10 should be easy enough and would eliminate the need to rely on publicly maintained package repositories that are not always welcome on production monitoring servers (for security reasons).
