Using Native Logical Replication with Current cnpg helm chart + external cluster usage in general #732
Description
Apologies if already asked before in other issues.
I was able to follow this PR well (thank you!) and was able to do a microservice import (works great!)
#475
- I'd like to also upgrade leveraging native logical replication using the cnpg cluster helm chart (it also uses
externalClusters), but wasn't sure if that would work with the changes in PR 475 ( i had taken a look at the chart source and nothing jumped out).
1a. I also noticed in the chart creating of a replica from an existing with a TODO(?). I remember seeing an issue on that, not sure if it relates.
# -- Cluster mode of operation. Available modes:
# * `standalone` - default mode. Creates new or updates an existing CNPG cluster.
# * `replica` - Creates a replica cluster from an existing CNPG cluster. # TODO
# * `recovery` - Same as standalone but creates a cluster from a backup, object store or via pg_basebackup.
mode: standalone
1b. If not in the helm chart, how would you approach this? We use ArgoCD to deploy the helm chart. It sounds like we would have to patch the Cluster after the fact?
- Also, re: externalClusters, the move in future releases to the barman-cloud-plugin, will the helm chart support this as well? Sorry if tangential to the above.
