I want to have a PG instance receive logical replication from a publisher.

However, the subscriber should not have network access to the publisher, in
any way. This is for security reasons. No VPN or any setup that allows the
subscriber to send traffic to the publisher host.

The publisher, however, can reach the subscriber IP and send traffic to it.

Is there a way to start a logical replication setup without having the
subscriber create a subscription? Run a few commands on the publisher and
the subscriber suddenly starts receiving data?

From what I've googled, an option would be to use pgrecvlogical:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgrecvlogical.html

Dumping changes periodically, sending them directly or uploading to cloud
storage and then downloading and applying them on the subscriber side.

But maybe there's a simpler option someone here knows about?

Any help and/or suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Koen
