For creating a streaming replication slave from scratch, check out the `pg_basebackup` tool. Exercised right, it will even create a suitable recovery.conf for running a slave instance from the backup it creates. You should also check out Zalando's patroni[0], which is a popular solution for providing automatic failover capabilities for postgres master/slave-pairs.
Postgres doesn't support multi-master replication; if you're interested in exploring this anyway, take a look at the BDR project[1].
