Configuring Slony Replication¶
On a CentOS/Rocky Linux/AlmaLinux/Debian host, the configuration file
(slony-replication.ini ) is located in the
/etc/edb/slony-replication<xx> directory. Use the configuration file
to specify connection information for the master and standby nodes.
On a Windows host, the configuration files are named
master.conf.sample and slave.conf.sample . They are located in
the /etc directory under the EDB Postgres Advanced Server
installation. Before configuring Slony Replication, you must rename the
configuration files to master.conf and slave.conf .
For information about configuring a Slony Replication environment, please refer to the Slony official project documentation .
After specifying configuration options, you must start the Slony Replication service on all nodes of the replication environment. For detailed information about controlling a service, see EDB Advanced Server Installation Guide at the EDB website .
After installing, configuring, and starting the Slony Replication on a Linux system, you must manually configure your system to autostart the service when your system reboots.
To configure a service to autostart on a Linux system, open a command line, assume superuser privileges, and enter the following command.
On a Redhat-compatible Linux system:
/sbin/chkconfig service_name on
Where service_name specifies the name of the service.
On a Debian-compatible Linux system, use the command:
/usr/sbin/update-rc.d service_name enable
Where service_name specifies the name of the service.
Please note that on a Windows system, the Slony Replication service is
configured to autostart by default; you can use the
Service Properties dialog to control the service startup type.
