# stop PostgreSQL and remove existing data

root@node01:~#

systemctl stop postgresql

root@node01:~#

rm -rf /var/lib/postgresql/16/main/*

# get backup from Primary Node

root@node01:~#

su - postgres

postgres@node01:~$

pg_basebackup -R -h www.srv.world -U rep_user -D /var/lib/postgresql/16/main -P

Password:

# password of replication user

[4]	That's OK if result of the command below on Primary Node is like follows. Verify the setting works normally to create databases or to insert data on Primary Node.

postgres@www:~$

psql -c "select usename, application_name, client_addr, state, sync_priority, sync_state from pg_stat_replication;"

 usename  | application_name | client_addr |   state   | sync_priority | sync_state
----------+------------------+-------------+-----------+---------------+------------
 rep_user | 16/main          | 10.0.0.51   | streaming |             1 | sync
