We had an incident related to RPM packages earlier this week, but it should be resolved now: [ESS (Public) Status - Ubuntu/Debian and Fedora package repositories disruption](https://status.elastic.co/incidents/505tp7pf0stw). Indeed, I was able to follow [Install Elasticsearch with RPM | Elasticsearch Guide [8.17] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/rpm.html) on a Fedora Docker image:

```auto
$ docker run -ti fedora:latest bash
[root@90368c78fb2d /]# cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/elasticsearch.repo
[elasticsearch]
name=Elasticsearch repository for 8.x packages
baseurl=https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/8.x/yum
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
enabled=0
autorefresh=1
type=rpm-md
[root@90368c78fb2d /]# sudo dnf install --enablerepo=elasticsearch elasticsearch
