Is the documentation on this [page] to enable the rpmfusion repos still
relevant?

Doing "sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled rpmfusion-free", gives me
an error, "Error: No matching repo to modify: rpmfusion-free".

This appears to be specific to the Fedora-xx-minimal template. I don't
know why, can someone give me a pointer?

Fedora minimal will not include the rpmfusion-*.repo file/repo because it's supposed to be "minimal" while the rpmfusion are "extras". You can of course copy the rpmfusion-*.repo files over to your minimal template if you like. You can find these files in this path in the normal fedora template:

/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-free.repo

They are generally disabled so that including them by mistake is not a security risk. Anything in the rpmfusion repository generally carries more risk because it is less vetted than the normal fedora repository.

Yes thank you now i remember.

Here is a snip of my "sudo dnf install ...." with the last output,

RPM Fusion for Fedora 36 - Free 0.0

Curl error (37): Couldn't read a file:// file for

The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful
transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.

Looking in /etc/pki/rpm-gpg there are no RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion* files.

You must also copy these files from a normal Fedora template to your
minimal template,

qvm-copy /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion*
