Hi,
I just stopped and restarted a Postgres 11 docker container which so far
has happily streamed the WAL from its primary but after the restart it
now seems to completely ignore the recovery.conf file and just outputs this:
2021-10-04 10:14:19.103 UTC [1] LOG: listening on IPv4 address
"0.0.0.0", port 5432
2021-10-04 10:14:19.103 UTC [1] LOG: listening on IPv6 address "::",

2021-10-04 10:15:35.893 UTC [1] LOG: database system is ready to accept
read only connections
Notice that there is apparently no attempt being made to connect to the
primary any more. The recovery.conf file is still present and correct so
I don't understand why Postgres seems to ignore it completely?
