pg_autoctl node show

pg_autoctl node show - Dump current node configuration as a pg_autoctl_node.ini file

Synopsis

pg_autoctl node show [--pgdata <dir>]

--pgdata      path to data directory (default: $PGDATA)

Description

pg_autoctl node show reads the running node’s pg_autoctl.cfg configuration file and writes its contents to stdout in pg_autoctl_node.ini format.

This is useful for:

  • Capturing the current configuration of a node that was created with pg_autoctl create postgres flags, so it can be managed declaratively going forward.

  • Comparing the effective configuration of a running node against a desired pg_autoctl_node.ini file.

  • Generating a baseline ini file to store in version control.

The output is a valid pg_autoctl_node.ini file that can be passed directly to pg_autoctl node run or pg_autoctl node apply.
