Re: recovery.conf and archive files

The primary's recovery.conf looks like this

listen_address='*'
wal_level=replica
synchronous_commit=local
archive_move = on
archive_command = 'cp %p /var/lib/pgsql/11/data/archive/%f'
max_wal_senders = 10
wal_keep_segments=10
synchronous_standby_names='standby0'
wal_log_hints=on
