Is it possible to create a custom mender configuration file without installing yocto project? I am trying to make my own config setup on raspberry pi 3B+

You can simply edit the mender.conf file on whatever platform you are running. Yocto is just one option. If you are using Raspbian, we support that through our mender-convert utility. See the following links for more details:
