pg_autoctl node check

pg_autoctl node check - Validate a pg_autoctl_node.ini file without creating anything

Synopsis

pg_autoctl node check [<file.ini>]

<file.ini>   path to the pg_autoctl_node.ini file
             (default: /etc/pgaf/node.ini)

Description

pg_autoctl node check parses a pg_autoctl_node.ini file, resolves defaults, and prints the fully-resolved configuration to stdout. It exits with a non-zero status if the file contains any syntax errors or invalid field values.

No Postgres instance is touched and no pg_autoctl state is modified. This command is safe to run at any time.

Use pg_autoctl node check to:

Validate a newly written ini file before deploying it to a container.
Verify that defaults are resolved as expected (for example, that hostname is auto-detected correctly).
Catch errors in CI before reaching the node creation step.
