HOWTO use pg_auto_failover in existing PG cluster #903

Closed wiwwo closed 2 years ago

wiwwo commented 2 years ago

It would be great to have a tutorial how to use pg_auto_failover on existing PG cluster (without any HA solution). The instructions here https://github.com/citusdata/pg_auto_failover#installing-pg_auto_failover-on-top-of-an-existing-postgres-setup simply do not work, and are IMHO "yeah, whatever" :-)

The README is just an intro, not the actual documentation of the product. That's why you have this feeling about how light the instructions are. Consider reading the docs at https://pg-auto-failover.readthedocs.io/en/master/ref/pg_autoctl_create_postgres.html#description and then if still needed open this issue again with more questions. Would be best if you tried it first and then reported surprises or faults.
