Thread: streaming replication across platforms

streaming replication across platforms

Is it possible to use streaming replication across different platforms (OSX/linux)?

As I read it, you must use a file system level base backup to setup the slave.  I ran into problems trying
pg_basebackupand, as was pointed out, that is not supported.  So will a tarball or any other file system level copy
work? Will I run into the same problems?

No, it is not possible - you have to use logical replication like Slony
