Hi,
Do I have to run this command on the server where the main database is located?

Suppose you want to transfer the database of a website like Amazon.com to a new server and delete the old one. Many users are buying and selling on this website at the same time and it is not possible to turn off the server. What do you do to move a database to another server?

I used this web page to implement hot standby via physical streaming.  This command sets up everything for you:
pg_basebackup \
            --pgdata=$PGDATA \
            --dbname=service=basebackup \
            --verbose --progress \
            --checkpoint=fast \
            --write-recovery-conf \
            --wal-method=stream \
            --create-slot --slot=pgstandby1 \
            --compress=server-zstd

For guarding, and situations with a minimal RTO SLA, I use PgPool-II to manage the cluster, automatic failover and Virtual IP address.  Note that only two database servers are needed.  Install PgPool on the two DB servers, and a third, smaller system.

There are other products which do the same thing as PgPool, and you might find them better.
