+Patroni is a template for high availability (HA) PostgreSQL solutions using Python. For maximum accessibility, Patroni supports a variety of distributed configuration stores like `ZooKeeper <https://zookeeper.apache.org/>`__, `etcd <https://github.com/coreos/etcd>`__, `Consul <https://github.com/hashicorp/consul>`__ or `Kubernetes <https://kubernetes.io>`__.

 We call Patroni a "template" because it is far from being a one-size-fits-all or plug-and-play replication system. It will have its own caveats. Use wisely.

+The stack starts three containers with etcd (forming a three-node etcd cluster), seven containers with Patroni+PostgreSQL+Citus (three coordinator nodes, and two worker clusters with two nodes each), and one container with haproxy.
+The haproxy listens on ports 5000 (connects to the coordinator primary) and 5001 (does load-balancing between worker primary nodes).
+
+Example session:

-Running tests
--------------
-
-Requirements for running behave tests:
-
-1. PostgreSQL packages need to be installed.
-2. PostgreSQL binaries must be available in your `PATH`. You may need to add them to the path with something like `PATH=/usr/lib/postgresql/11/bin:$PATH python -m behave`.
-3. If you'd like to test with external DCSs (e.g., Etcd, Consul, and Zookeeper) you'll need the packages installed and respective services running and accepting unencrypted/unprotected connections on localhost and default port. In the case of Etcd or Consul, the behave test suite could start them up if binaries are available in the `PATH`.
-
- Install dependencies:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    # You may want to use Virtualenv or specify pip3.
-    pip install -r requirements.txt
-    pip install -r requirements.dev.txt
-
-After you have all dependencies installed, you can run the various test suites:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    # You may want to use Virtualenv or specify python3.
-
-    # Run flake8 to check syntax and formatting:
-    python setup.py flake8
-
-    # Run the pytest suite in tests/:
-    python setup.py test
-
-    # Run the behave (https://behave.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) test suite in features/;
-    # modify DCS as desired (raft has no dependencies so is the easiest to start with):
-    DCS=raft python -m behave

 Technical Requirements/Installation
 -----------------------------------
 
-**Pre-requirements for Mac OS**
-
-To install requirements on a Mac, run the following:
-
-::
-
-    brew install postgresql etcd haproxy libyaml python
-
-.. _psycopg2_install_options:
-
-**Psycopg2**
-
-Starting from `psycopg2-2.8 <http://initd.org/psycopg/articles/2019/04/04/psycopg-28-released/>`__ the binary version of psycopg2 will no longer be installed by default. Installing it from the source code requires C compiler and postgres+python dev packages.
-Since in the python world it is not possible to specify dependency as ``psycopg2 OR psycopg2-binary`` you will have to decide how to install it.
-
-There are a few options available:
-
-1. Use the package manager from your distro
-
-::
-
-    sudo apt-get install python-psycopg2   # install python2 psycopg2 module on Debian/Ubuntu
-    sudo apt-get install python3-psycopg2  # install python3 psycopg2 module on Debian/Ubuntu
-    sudo yum install python-psycopg2       # install python2 psycopg2 on RedHat/Fedora/CentOS
-
-2. Install psycopg2 from the binary package
-
-::
-
-    pip install psycopg2-binary
-
-3. Install psycopg2 from source
-
-::
-
-    pip install psycopg2>=2.5.4
-
-**General installation for pip**
-
-Patroni can be installed with pip:
-
-::
-
-    pip install patroni[dependencies]
-
-where dependencies can be either empty, or consist of one or more of the following:
-
-etcd or etcd3
-    `python-etcd` module in order to use Etcd as DCS
-consul
-    `python-consul` module in order to use Consul as DCS
-zookeeper
-    `kazoo` module in order to use Zookeeper as DCS
-exhibitor
-    `kazoo` module in order to use Exhibitor as DCS (same dependencies as for Zookeeper)
-kubernetes
-    `kubernetes` module in order to use Kubernetes as DCS in Patroni
-raft
-    `pysyncobj` module in order to use python Raft implementation as DCS
-aws
-    `boto` in order to use AWS callbacks
-
-For example, the command in order to install Patroni together with dependencies for Etcd as a DCS and AWS callbacks is:
-
-::
-
-    pip install patroni[etcd,aws]
-
-Note that external tools to call in the replica creation or custom bootstrap scripts (i.e. WAL-E) should be installed

If Patroni cannot access the Primary because the connection pool is full, behavior will be undesirable.

-Dynamic configuration settings
-------------------------------
-
-Dynamic configuration is stored in the DCS (Distributed Configuration Store) and applied on all cluster nodes. Some parameters, like **loop_wait**, **ttl**, **postgresql.parameters.max_connections**, **postgresql.parameters.max_worker_processes** and so on could be set only in the dynamic configuration. Some other parameters like **postgresql.listen**, **postgresql.data_dir** could be set only locally, i.e. in the Patroni config file or via :ref:`configuration <environment>` variable. In most cases the local configuration will override the dynamic configuration. In order to change the dynamic configuration you can use either ``patronictl edit-config`` tool or Patroni :ref:`REST API <rest_api>`.
-
--  **loop\_wait**: the number of seconds the loop will sleep. Default value: 10
--  **ttl**: the TTL to acquire the leader lock (in seconds). Think of it as the length of time before initiation of the automatic failover process. Default value: 30
--  **retry\_timeout**: timeout for DCS and PostgreSQL operation retries (in seconds). DCS or network issues shorter than this will not cause Patroni to demote the leader. Default value: 10
--  **maximum\_lag\_on\_failover**: the maximum bytes a follower may lag to be able to participate in leader election.
--  **maximum\_lag\_on\_syncnode**: the maximum bytes a synchronous follower may lag before it is considered as an unhealthy candidate and swapped by healthy asynchronous follower. Patroni utilize the max replica lsn if there is more than one follower, otherwise it will use leader's current wal lsn. Default is -1, Patroni will not take action to swap synchronous unhealthy follower when the value is set to 0 or below. Please set the value high enough so Patroni won't swap synchrounous follower fequently during high transaction volume.
--  **max\_timelines\_history**: maximum number of timeline history items kept in DCS.  Default value: 0. When set to 0, it keeps the full history in DCS.
--  **master\_start\_timeout**: the amount of time a master is allowed to recover from failures before failover is triggered (in seconds). Default is 300 seconds. When set to 0 failover is done immediately after a crash is detected if possible. When using asynchronous replication a failover can cause lost transactions. Worst case failover time for master failure is: loop\_wait + master\_start\_timeout + loop\_wait, unless master\_start\_timeout is zero, in which case it's just loop\_wait. Set the value according to your durability/availability tradeoff.
-- **master\_stop\_timeout**: The number of seconds Patroni is allowed to wait when stopping Postgres and effective only when synchronous_mode is enabled. When set to > 0 and the synchronous_mode is enabled, Patroni sends SIGKILL to the postmaster if the stop operation is running for more than the value set by master_stop_timeout. Set the value according to your durability/availability tradeoff. If the parameter is not set or set <= 0, master_stop_timeout does not apply.
--  **synchronous\_mode**: turns on synchronous replication mode. In this mode a replica will be chosen as synchronous and only the latest leader and synchronous replica are able to participate in leader election. Synchronous mode makes sure that successfully committed transactions will not be lost at failover, at the cost of losing availability for writes when Patroni cannot ensure transaction durability. See :ref:`replication modes documentation <replication_modes>` for details.
--  **synchronous\_mode\_strict**: prevents disabling synchronous replication if no synchronous replicas are available, blocking all client writes to the master. See :ref:`replication modes documentation <replication_modes>` for details.
--  **postgresql**:
-    -  **use\_pg\_rewind**: whether or not to use pg_rewind. Defaults to `false`.
-    -  **use\_slots**: whether or not to use replication slots. Defaults to `true` on PostgreSQL 9.4+.
-    -  **recovery\_conf**: additional configuration settings written to recovery.conf when configuring follower. There is no recovery.conf anymore in PostgreSQL 12, but you may continue using this section, because Patroni handles it transparently.
-    -  **parameters**: list of configuration settings for Postgres.
--  **standby\_cluster**: if this section is defined, we want to bootstrap a standby cluster.
-    -  **host**: an address of remote master
-    -  **port**: a port of remote master
-    -  **primary\_slot\_name**: which slot on the remote master to use for replication. This parameter is optional, the default value is derived from the instance name (see function `slot_name_from_member_name`).
-    -  **create\_replica\_methods**: an ordered list of methods that can be used to bootstrap standby leader from the remote master, can be different from the list defined in :ref:`postgresql_settings`
-    -  **restore\_command**: command to restore WAL records from the remote master to standby leader, can be different from the list defined in :ref:`postgresql_settings`
-    -  **archive\_cleanup\_command**: cleanup command for standby leader
-    -  **recovery\_min\_apply\_delay**: how long to wait before actually apply WAL records on a standby leader
--  **slots**: define permanent replication slots. These slots will be preserved during switchover/failover. The logical slots are copied from the primary to a standby with restart, and after that their position advanced every **loop_wait** seconds (if necessary). Copying logical slot files performed via ``libpq`` connection and using either rewind or superuser credentials (see **postgresql.authentication** section). There is always a chance that the logical slot position on the replica is a bit behind the former primary, therefore application should be prepared that some messages could be received the second time after the failover. The easiest way of doing so - tracking ``confirmed_flush_lsn``. Enabling permanent logical replication slots requires **postgresql.use_slots** to be set and will also automatically enable the ``hot_standby_feedback``. Since the failover of logical replication slots is unsafe on PostgreSQL 9.6 and older and PostgreSQL version 10 is missing some important functions, the feature only works with PostgreSQL 11+.
-    -  **my_slot_name**: the name of replication slot. If the permanent slot name matches with the name of the current primary it will not be created. Everything else is the responsibility of the operator to make sure that there are no clashes in names between replication slots automatically created by Patroni for members and permanent replication slots.
-        -  **type**: slot type. Could be ``physical`` or ``logical``. If the slot is logical, you have to additionally define ``database`` and ``plugin``.
-        -  **database**: the database name where logical slots should be created.
-        -  **plugin**: the plugin name for the logical slot.
--  **ignore_slots**: list of sets of replication slot properties for which Patroni should ignore matching slots. This configuration/feature/etc. is useful when some replication slots are managed outside of Patroni. Any subset of matching properties will cause a slot to be ignored.
-    -  **name**: the name of the replication slot.
-    -  **type**: slot type. Can be ``physical`` or ``logical``. If the slot is logical, you may additionally define ``database`` and/or ``plugin``.
-    -  **database**: the database name (when matching a ``logical`` slot).
-    -  **plugin**: the logical decoding plugin (when matching a ``logical`` slot).
-
-Note: **slots** is a hashmap while **ignore_slots** is an array. For example:
-
-.. code:: YAML
-
-        slots:
-          permanent_logical_slot_name:
-            type: logical
-            database: my_db
-            plugin: test_decoding
-          permanent_physical_slot_name:
-            type: physical
-          ...
-        ignore_slots:
-          - name: ignored_logical_slot_name
-            type: logical
-            database: my_db
-            plugin: test_decoding
-          - name: ignored_physical_slot_name
-            type: physical
-          ...
-
-Global/Universal
-----------------
--  **name**: the name of the host. Must be unique for the cluster.
--  **namespace**: path within the configuration store where Patroni will keep information about the cluster. Default value: "/service"
--  **scope**: cluster name
-
-Log
----
--  **level**: sets the general logging level. Default value is **INFO** (see `the docs for Python logging <https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/logging.html#levels>`_)
--  **traceback\_level**: sets the level where tracebacks will be visible. Default value is **ERROR**. Set it to **DEBUG** if you want to see tracebacks only if you enable **log.level=DEBUG**.
--  **format**: sets the log formatting string. Default value is **%(asctime)s %(levelname)s: %(message)s** (see `the LogRecord attributes <https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/logging.html#logrecord-attributes>`_)
--  **dateformat**: sets the datetime formatting string. (see the `formatTime() documentation <https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/logging.html#logging.Formatter.formatTime>`_)
--  **max\_queue\_size**: Patroni is using two-step logging. Log records are written into the in-memory queue and there is a separate thread which pulls them from the queue and writes to stderr or file. The maximum size of the internal queue is limited by default by **1000** records, which is enough to keep logs for the past 1h20m.
--  **dir**: Directory to write application logs to. The directory must exist and be writable by the user executing Patroni. If you set this value, the application will retain 4 25MB logs by default. You can tune those retention values with `file_num` and `file_size` (see below).
--  **file\_num**: The number of application logs to retain.
--  **file\_size**: Size of patroni.log file (in bytes) that triggers a log rolling.
--  **loggers**: This section allows redefining logging level per python module

-.. _consul_settings:
-
-Consul
-------
-Most of the parameters are optional, but you have to specify one of the **host** or **url**
-
--  **host**: the host:port for the Consul local agent.
--  **url**: url for the Consul local agent, in format: http(s)://host:port.
--  **port**: (optional) Consul port.

--  **verify**: (optional) whether to verify the SSL certificate for HTTPS requests.
--  **cacert**: (optional) The ca certificate. If present it will enable validation.
--  **cert**: (optional) file with the client certificate.
--  **key**: (optional) file with the client key. Can be empty if the key is part of **cert**.
--  **dc**: (optional) Datacenter to communicate with. By default the datacenter of the host is used.
--  **consistency**: (optional) Select consul consistency mode. Possible values are ``default``, ``consistent``, or ``stale`` (more details in `consul API reference <https://www.consul.io/api/features/consistency.html/>`__)
--  **checks**: (optional) list of Consul health checks used for the session. By default an empty list is used.
--  **register\_service**: (optional) whether or not to register a service with the name defined by the scope parameter and the tag master, replica or standby-leader depending on the node's role. Defaults to **false**.
--  **service\_tags**: (optional) additional static tags to add to the Consul service apart from the role (``master``/``replica``/``standby-leader``).  By default an empty list is used.
--  **service\_check\_interval**: (optional) how often to perform health check against registered url.
-
-The ``token`` needs to have the following ACL permissions:
-
-::
-
-    service_prefix "${scope}" {
-        policy = "write"
-    }
-    key_prefix "${namespace}/${scope}" {
-        policy = "write"
-    }
-    session_prefix "" {
-        policy = "write"
-    }
-
-Etcd
-----
-Most of the parameters are optional, but you have to specify one of the **host**, **hosts**, **url**, **proxy** or **srv**
-
--  **host**: the host:port for the etcd endpoint.
--  **hosts**: list of etcd endpoint in format host1:port1,host2:port2,etc... Could be a comma separated string or an actual yaml list.
--  **use\_proxies**: If this parameter is set to true, Patroni will consider **hosts** as a list of proxies and will not perform a topology discovery of etcd cluster.
--  **url**: url for the etcd.
--  **proxy**: proxy url for the etcd. If you are connecting to the etcd using proxy, use this parameter instead of **url**.
--  **srv**: Domain to search the SRV record(s) for cluster autodiscovery. Patroni will try to query these SRV service names for specified domain (in that order until first success): ``_etcd-client-ssl``, ``_etcd-client``, ``_etcd-ssl``, ``_etcd``, ``_etcd-server-ssl``, ``_etcd-server``. If SRV records for ``_etcd-server-ssl`` or ``_etcd-server`` are retrieved then ETCD peer protocol is used do query ETCD for available members. Otherwise hosts from SRV records will be used.
--  **srv\_suffix**: Configures a suffix to the SRV name that is queried during discovery. Use this flag to differentiate between multiple etcd clusters under the same domain. Works only with conjunction with **srv**. For example, if ``srv_suffix: foo`` and ``srv: example.org`` are set, the following DNS SRV query is made:``_etcd-client-ssl-foo._tcp.example.com`` (and so on for every possible ETCD SRV service name).
--  **protocol**: (optional) http or https, if not specified http is used. If the **url** or **proxy** is specified - will take protocol from them.
--  **username**: (optional) username for etcd authentication.
--  **password**: (optional) password for etcd authentication.
--  **cacert**: (optional) The ca certificate. If present it will enable validation.
--  **cert**: (optional) file with the client certificate.
--  **key**: (optional) file with the client key. Can be empty if the key is part of **cert**.
-
-Etcdv3
-------
-If you want that Patroni works with Etcd cluster via protocol version 3, you need to use the ``etcd3`` section in the Patroni configuration file. All configuration parameters are the same as for ``etcd``.
-
-.. warning::
-    Keys created with protocol version 2 are not visible with protocol version 3 and the other way around, therefore it is not possible to switch from ``etcd`` to ``etcd3`` just by updating Patroni config file.
-
-
-ZooKeeper
-----------
--  **hosts**: List of ZooKeeper cluster members in format: ['host1:port1', 'host2:port2', 'etc...'].
--  **use_ssl**: (optional) Whether SSL is used or not. Defaults to ``false``. If set to ``false``, all SSL specific parameters are ignored.
--  **cacert**: (optional) The CA certificate. If present it will enable validation.
--  **cert**: (optional) File with the client certificate.
--  **key**: (optional) File with the client key.
--  **key_password**: (optional) The client key password.
--  **verify**: (optional) Whether to verify certificate or not. Defaults to ``true``.
-
-.. note::
-    It is required to install ``kazoo>=2.6.0`` to support SSL.
-
-
-Exhibitor
----------
--  **hosts**: initial list of Exhibitor (ZooKeeper) nodes in format: 'host1,host2,etc...'. This list updates automatically whenever the Exhibitor (ZooKeeper) cluster topology changes.
--  **poll\_interval**: how often the list of ZooKeeper and Exhibitor nodes should be updated from Exhibitor.
--  **port**: Exhibitor port.
-
-.. _kubernetes_settings:
-
-Kubernetes
-----------
--  **bypass\_api\_service**: (optional) When communicating with the Kubernetes API, Patroni is usually relying on the `kubernetes` service, the address of which is exposed in the pods via the `KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST` environment variable. If `bypass_api_service` is set to ``true``, Patroni will resolve the list of API nodes behind the service and connect directly to them.
--  **namespace**: (optional) Kubernetes namespace where Patroni pod is running. Default value is `default`.
--  **labels**: Labels in format ``{label1: value1, label2: value2}``. These labels will be used to find existing objects (Pods and either Endpoints or ConfigMaps) associated with the current cluster. Also Patroni will set them on every object (Endpoint or ConfigMap) it creates.
--  **scope\_label**: (optional) name of the label containing cluster name. Default value is `cluster-name`.
--  **role\_label**: (optional) name of the label containing role (master or replica). Patroni will set this label on the pod it runs in. Default value is ``role``.
--  **use\_endpoints**: (optional) if set to true, Patroni will use Endpoints instead of ConfigMaps to run leader elections and keep cluster state.
--  **pod\_ip**: (optional) IP address of the pod Patroni is running in. This value is required when `use_endpoints` is enabled and is used to populate the leader endpoint subsets when the pod's PostgreSQL is promoted.
--  **ports**: (optional) if the Service object has the name for the port, the same name must appear in the Endpoint object, otherwise service won't work. For example, if your service is defined as ``{Kind: Service, spec: {ports: [{name: postgresql, port: 5432, targetPort: 5432}]}}``, then you have to set ``kubernetes.ports: [{"name": "postgresql", "port": 5432}]`` and Patroni will use it for updating subsets of the leader Endpoint. This parameter is used only if `kubernetes.use_endpoints` is set.
--  **cacert**: (optional) Specifies the file with the CA_BUNDLE file with certificates of trusted CAs to use while verifying Kubernetes API SSL certs. If not provided, patroni will use the value provided by the ServiceAccount secret.
-
-
-.. _raft_settings:
-
-Raft
-----
--  **self\_addr**: ``ip:port`` to listen on for Raft connections. The ``self_addr`` must be accessible from other nodes of the cluster. If not set, the node will not participate in consensus.
--  **bind\_addr**: (optional) ``ip:port`` to listen on for Raft connections. If not specified the ``self_addr`` will be used.
--  **partner\_addrs**: list of other Patroni nodes in the cluster in format: ['ip1:port', 'ip2:port', 'etc...']
--  **data\_dir**: directory where to store Raft log and snapshot. If not specified the current working directory is used.
--  **password**: (optional) Encrypt Raft traffic with a specified password, requires ``cryptography`` python module.
-
-  Short FAQ about Raft implementation
-
-  - Q: How to list all the nodes providing consensus?
-
-    A: ``syncobj_admin -conn host:port`` -status where the host:port is the address of one of the cluster nodes
-
-  - Q: Node that was a part of consensus and has gone and I can't reuse the same IP for other node. How to remove this node from the consensus?
-
-    A: ``syncobj_admin -conn host:port -remove host2:port2`` where the ``host2:port2`` is the address of the node you want to remove from consensus.
-
-  - Q: Where to get the ``syncobj_admin`` utility?
-
-    A: It is installed together with ``pysyncobj`` module (python RAFT implementation), which is Patroni dependency.
-
-  - Q: it is possible to run Patroni node without adding in to the consensus?
-
-    A: Yes, just comment out or remove ``raft.self_addr`` from Patroni configuration.
-
-  - Q: It is possible to run Patroni and PostgreSQL only on two nodes?
-
-    A: Yes, on the third node you can run ``patroni_raft_controller`` (without Patroni and PostgreSQL). In such a setup, one can temporarily lose one node without affecting the primary.

-    -  **callbacks**: callback scripts to run on certain actions. Patroni will pass the action, role and cluster name. (See scripts/aws.py as an example of how to write them.)
-            -  **on\_reload**: run this script when configuration reload is triggered.
-            -  **on\_restart**: run this script when the postgres restarts (without changing role).
-            -  **on\_role\_change**: run this script when the postgres is being promoted or demoted.
-            -  **on\_start**: run this script when the postgres starts.
-            -  **on\_stop**: run this script when the postgres stops.
-    -  **connect\_address**: IP address + port through which Postgres is accessible from other nodes and applications.
-    -  **create\_replica\_methods**: an ordered list of the create methods for turning a Patroni node into a new replica.
-       "basebackup" is the default method; other methods are assumed to refer to scripts, each of which is configured as its
-       own config item. See :ref:`custom replica creation methods documentation <custom_replica_creation>` for further explanation.
-    -  **data\_dir**: The location of the Postgres data directory, either :ref:`existing <existing_data>` or to be initialized by Patroni.
-    -  **config\_dir**: The location of the Postgres configuration directory, defaults to the data directory. Must be writable by Patroni.
-    -  **bin\_dir**: Path to PostgreSQL binaries (pg_ctl, pg_rewind, pg_basebackup, postgres). The default value is an empty string meaning that PATH environment variable will be used to find the executables.
-    -  **listen**: IP address + port that Postgres listens to; must be accessible from other nodes in the cluster, if you're using streaming replication. Multiple comma-separated addresses are permitted, as long as the port component is appended after to the last one with a colon, i.e. ``listen: 127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2:5432``. Patroni will use the first address from this list to establish local connections to the PostgreSQL node.
-    -  **use\_unix\_socket**: specifies that Patroni should prefer to use unix sockets to connect to the cluster. Default value is ``false``. If ``unix_socket_directories`` is defined, Patroni will use the first suitable value from it to connect to the cluster and fallback to tcp if nothing is suitable. If ``unix_socket_directories`` is not specified in ``postgresql.parameters``, Patroni will assume that the default value should be used and omit ``host`` from the connection parameters.
-    -  **use\_unix\_socket\_repl**: specifies that Patroni should prefer to use unix sockets for replication user cluster connection. Default value is ``false``. If ``unix_socket_directories`` is defined, Patroni will use the first suitable value from it to connect to the cluster and fallback to tcp if nothing is suitable. If ``unix_socket_directories`` is not specified in ``postgresql.parameters``, Patroni will assume that the default value should be used and omit ``host`` from the connection parameters.
-    -  **pgpass**: path to the `.pgpass <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq-pgpass.html>`__ password file. Patroni creates this file before executing pg\_basebackup, the post_init script and under some other circumstances. The location must be writable by Patroni.
-    -  **recovery\_conf**: additional configuration settings written to recovery.conf when configuring follower.
-    -  **custom\_conf** : path to an optional custom ``postgresql.conf`` file, that will be used in place of ``postgresql.base.conf``. The file must exist on all cluster nodes, be readable by PostgreSQL and will be included from its location on the real ``postgresql.conf``. Note that Patroni will not monitor this file for changes, nor backup it. However, its settings can still be overridden by Patroni's own configuration facilities - see :ref:`dynamic configuration <dynamic_configuration>` for details.
-    -  **parameters**: list of configuration settings for Postgres. Many of these are required for replication to work.
-    -  **pg\_hba**: list of lines that Patroni will use to generate ``pg_hba.conf``. This parameter has higher priority than ``bootstrap.pg_hba``. Together with :ref:`dynamic configuration <dynamic_configuration>` it simplifies management of ``pg_hba.conf``.
-            -  **- host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5**.
-            -  **- host replication replicator 127.0.0.1/32 md5**: A line like this is required for replication.
-    -  **pg\_ident**: list of lines that Patroni will use to generate ``pg_ident.conf``. Together with :ref:`dynamic configuration <dynamic_configuration>` it simplifies management of ``pg_ident.conf``.
-            -  **- mapname1 systemname1 pguser1**.
-            -  **- mapname1 systemname2 pguser2**.
-    -  **pg\_ctl\_timeout**: How long should pg_ctl wait when doing ``start``, ``stop`` or ``restart``. Default value is 60 seconds.
-    -  **use\_pg\_rewind**: try to use pg\_rewind on the former leader when it joins cluster as a replica.
-    -  **remove\_data\_directory\_on\_rewind\_failure**: If this option is enabled, Patroni will remove the PostgreSQL data directory and recreate the replica. Otherwise it will try to follow the new leader. Default value is **false**.
-    -  **remove\_data\_directory\_on\_diverged\_timelines**: Patroni will remove the PostgreSQL data directory and recreate the replica if it notices that timelines are diverging and the former master can not start streaming from the new master. This option is useful when ``pg_rewind`` can not be used. Default value is **false**.
-    -  **replica\_method**: for each create_replica_methods other than basebackup, you would add a configuration section of the same name. At a minimum, this should include "command" with a full path to the actual script to be executed. Other configuration parameters will be passed along to the script in the form "parameter=value".
-    -  **pre\_promote**: a fencing script that executes during a failover after acquiring the leader lock but before promoting the replica. If the script exits with a non-zero code, Patroni does not promote the replica and removes the leader key from DCS.
-
-REST API
---------
--  **restapi**:
-        -  **connect\_address**: IP address (or hostname) and port, to access the Patroni's :ref:`REST API <rest_api>`. All the members of the cluster must be able to connect to this address, so unless the Patroni setup is intended for a demo inside the localhost, this address must be a non "localhost" or loopback address (ie: "localhost" or "127.0.0.1"). It can serve as an endpoint for HTTP health checks (read below about the "listen" REST API parameter), and also for user queries (either directly or via the REST API), as well as for the health checks done by the cluster members during leader elections (for example, to determine whether the master is still running, or if there is a node which has a WAL position that is ahead of the one doing the query; etc.) The connect_address is put in the member key in DCS, making it possible to translate the member name into the address to connect to its REST API.
-
-        -  **listen**: IP address (or hostname) and port that Patroni will listen to for the REST API - to provide also the same health checks and cluster messaging between the participating nodes, as described above. to provide health-check information for HAProxy (or any other load balancer capable of doing a HTTP "OPTION" or "GET" checks).
-
-        -  **authentication**: (optional)
-            -  **username**: Basic-auth username to protect unsafe REST API endpoints.
-            -  **password**: Basic-auth password to protect unsafe REST API endpoints.
-        -  **certfile**: (optional): Specifies the file with the certificate in the PEM format. If the certfile is not specified or is left empty, the API server will work without SSL.
-        -  **keyfile**: (optional): Specifies the file with the secret key in the PEM format.
-        -  **keyfile_password**: (optional): Specifies a password for decrypting the keyfile.
-        -  **cafile**: (optional): Specifies the file with the CA_BUNDLE with certificates of trusted CAs to use while verifying client certs.
-        -  **ciphers**: (optional): Specifies the permitted cipher suites (e.g. "ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:!SSLv1:!SSLv2:!SSLv3:!TLSv1:!TLSv1.1")
-        -  **verify\_client**: (optional): ``none`` (default), ``optional`` or ``required``. When ``none`` REST API will not check client certificates. When ``required`` client certificates are required for all REST API calls. When ``optional`` client certificates are required for all unsafe REST API endpoints. When ``required`` is used, then client authentication succeeds, if the certificate signature verification succeeds.  For ``optional`` the client cert will only be checked for ``PUT``, ``POST``, ``PATCH``, and ``DELETE`` requests.
-        -  **allowlist**: (optional): Specifies the set of hosts that are allowed to call unsafe REST API endpoints. The single element could be a host name, an IP address or a network address using CIDR notation. By default ``allow all`` is used. In case if ``allowlist`` or ``allowlist_include_members`` are set, anything that is not included is rejected.
-        -  **allowlist\_include\_members**: (optional): If set to ``true`` it allows accessing unsafe REST API endpoints from other cluster members registered in DCS (IP address or hostname is taken from the members ``api_url``). Be careful, it might happen that OS will use a different IP for outgoing connections.
-        -  **http\_extra\_headers**: (optional): HTTP headers let the REST API server pass additional information with an HTTP response.
-        -  **https\_extra\_headers**: (optional): HTTPS headers let the REST API server pass additional information with an HTTP response when TLS is enabled. This will also pass additional information set in ``http_extra_headers``.
-
-Here is an example of both **http_extra_headers** and **https_extra_headers**:
-
-.. code:: YAML
-
-        restapi:
-          listen: <listen>
-          connect_address: <connect_address>
-          authentication:
-            username: <username>
-            password: <password>
-          http_extra_headers:
-            'X-Frame-Options': 'SAMEORIGIN'
-            'X-XSS-Protection': '1; mode=block'
-            'X-Content-Type-Options': 'nosniff'
-          cafile: <ca file>
-          certfile: <cert>
-          keyfile: <key>
-          https_extra_headers:
-            'Strict-Transport-Security': 'max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains'
-
-.. _patronictl_settings:
-
-CTL
----
-- **ctl**: (optional)
-    -  **insecure**: Allow connections to REST API without verifying SSL certs.
-    -  **cacert**: Specifies the file with the CA_BUNDLE file or directory with certificates of trusted CAs to use while verifying REST API SSL certs. If not provided patronictl will use the value provided for REST API "cafile" parameter.
-    -  **certfile**: Specifies the file with the client certificate in the PEM format. If not provided patronictl will use the value provided for REST API "certfile" parameter.
-    -  **keyfile**: Specifies the file with the client secret key in the PEM format. If not provided patronictl will use the value provided for REST API "keyfile" parameter.
-
-Watchdog
---------
-- **mode**: ``off``, ``automatic`` or ``required``. When ``off`` watchdog is disabled. When ``automatic`` watchdog will be used if available, but ignored if it is not. When ``required`` the node will not become a leader unless watchdog can be successfully enabled.
-- **device**: Path to watchdog device. Defaults to ``/dev/watchdog``.
-- **safety_margin**: Number of seconds of safety margin between watchdog triggering and leader key expiration.
-
-.. _tags_settings:
-
-Tags
-----
-- **nofailover**: ``true`` or ``false``, controls whether this node is allowed to participate in the leader race and become a leader. Defaults to ``false``
-- **clonefrom**: ``true`` or ``false``. If set to ``true`` other nodes might prefer to use this node for bootstrap (take ``pg_basebackup`` from). If there are several nodes with ``clonefrom`` tag set to ``true`` the node to bootstrap from will be chosen randomly. The default value is ``false``.
-- **noloadbalance**: ``true`` or ``false``. If set to ``true`` the node will return HTTP Status Code 503 for the ``GET /replica`` REST API health-check and therefore will be excluded from the load-balancing. Defaults to ``false``.
-- **replicatefrom**: The IP address/hostname of another replica. Used to support cascading replication.
-- **nosync**: ``true`` or ``false``. If set to ``true`` the node will never be selected as a synchronous replica.
-
-In addition to these predefined tags, you can also add your own ones:
-
-- **key1**: ``true``
-- **key2**: ``false``
-- **key3**: ``1.4``
-- **key4**: ``"RandomString"``
-
-Tags are visible in the :ref:`REST API <rest_api>` and ``patronictl list`` You can also check for an instance health using these tags. If the tag isn't defined for an instance, or if the respective value doesn't match the querying value, it will return HTTP Status Code 503.

+
+Citus support
+=============
+
+Patroni makes it extremely simple to deploy `Multi-Node Citus`__ clusters.
+
+__ https://docs.citusdata.com/en/stable/installation/multi_node.html
+
+TL;DR
+-----
+
+There are only a few simple rules you need to follow:
+
+1. `Citus <https://github.com/citusdata/citus>`__ database extension to
+   PostgreSQL must be available on all nodes.  Absolute minimum supported Citus
+   version is 10.0, but, to take all benefits from transparent switchovers and
+   restarts of workers we recommend using at least Citus 11.2.
+2. Cluster name (``scope``) must be the same for all Citus nodes!
+3. Superuser credentials must be the same on coordinator and all worker
+   nodes, and ``pg_hba.conf`` should allow superuser access between all nodes.
+4. :ref:`REST API <restapi_settings>` access should be allowed from worker
+   nodes to the coordinator. E.g., credentials should be the same and if
+   configured, client certificates from worker nodes must be accepted by the
+   coordinator.
+5. Add the following section to the ``patroni.yaml``:
+
+.. code:: YAML
+
+        citus:
+          group: X  # 0 for coordinator and 1, 2, 3, etc for workers
+          database: citus  # must be the same on all nodes
+
+
+After that you just need to start Patroni and it will handle the rest:
+
+1. ``citus`` extension will be automatically added to ``shared_preload_libraries``.
+2. If ``max_prepared_transactions`` isn't explicitly set in the global
+   :ref:`dynamic configuration <dynamic_configuration>` Patroni will
+   automatically set it to ``2*max_connections``.
+3. The ``citus.database`` will be automatically created followed by ``CREATE EXTENSION citus``.
+4. Current superuser :ref:`credentials <postgresql_settings>` will be added to the ``pg_dist_authinfo``
+   table to allow cross-node communication. Don't forget to update them if
+   later you decide to change superuser username/password/sslcert/sslkey!
+5. The coordinator primary node will automatically discover worker primary
+   nodes and add them to the ``pg_dist_node`` table using the
+   ``citus_add_node()`` function.
+6. Patroni will also maintain ``pg_dist_node`` in case failover/switchover
+   on the coordinator or worker clusters occurs.
+
+patronictl
+----------
+
+Coordinator and worker clusters are physically different PostgreSQL/Patroni
+clusters that are just logically groupped together using the
+`Citus <https://github.com/citusdata/citus>`__ database extension to
+PostgreSQL. Therefore in most cases it is not possible to manage them as a
+single entity.
+
+It results in two major differences in ``patronictl`` behaviour when
+``patroni.yaml`` has the ``citus`` section comparing with the usual:
+
+1. The ``list`` and the ``topology`` by default output all members of the Citus
+   formation (coordinators and workers). The new column ``Group`` indicates
+   which Citus group they belong to.
+2. For all ``patronictl`` commands the new option is introduced, named
+   ``--group``. For some commands the default value for the group might be
+   taken from the ``patroni.yaml``. For example, ``patronictl pause`` will
+   enable the maintenance mode by default for the ``group`` that is set in the
+   ``citus`` section, but for example for ``patronictl  switchover`` or
+   ``patronictl remove`` the group must be explicitly specified.
+
+An example of ``patronictl list`` output for the Citus cluster::
+
+    postgres@coord1:~$ patronictl list demo
+    + Citus cluster: demo ----------+--------------+---------+----+-----------+
+    | Group | Member  | Host        | Role         | State   | TL | Lag in MB |

+    +-------+---------+-------------+--------------+---------+----+-----------+
+
+If we add the ``--group`` option, the output will change to::
+
+    postgres@coord1:~$ patronictl list demo --group 0
+    + Citus cluster: demo (group: 0, 7179854923829112860) -----------+

+    +---------+------------+--------------+---------+----+-----------+
+
+Citus worker switchover
+-----------------------
+
+When a switchover is orchestrated for a Citus worker node, Citus offers the
+opportunity to make the switchover close to transparent for an application.
+Because the application connects to the coordinator, which in turn connects to
+the worker nodes, then it is possible with Citus to `pause` the SQL traffic on
+the coordinator for the shards hosted on a worker node. The switchover then
+happens while the traffic is kept on the coordinator, and resumes as soon as a
+new primary worker node is ready to accept read-write queries.
+
+An example of ``patronictl switchover`` on the worker cluster::
+
+    postgres@coord1:~$ patronictl switchover demo
+    + Citus cluster: demo ----------+--------------+---------+----+-----------+
+    | Group | Member  | Host        | Role         | State   | TL | Lag in MB |

+    # From this moment all application traffic on the coordinator to the worker group 2 is paused.
+
+    # The future worker primary notifies the coordinator that it acquired the leader lock in DCS and about to run "pg_ctl promote".
+    2022-12-22 07:02:40,085 DEBUG: query("SELECT pg_catalog.citus_update_node(3, '172.27.0.5', 5432)")
+
+    # The new worker primary just finished promote and notifies coordinator that it is ready to accept read-write traffic.
+    2022-12-22 07:02:41,485 DEBUG: query("COMMIT")
+    # From this moment the application traffic on the coordinator to the worker group 2 is unblocked.
+
+Peek into DCS
+-------------
+
+The Citus cluster (coordinator and workers) are stored in DCS as a fleet of
+Patroni clusters logically grouped together::
+
+    /service/batman/              # scope=batman
+    /service/batman/0/            # citus.group=0, coordinator
+    /service/batman/0/initialize
+    /service/batman/0/leader
+    /service/batman/0/members/
+    /service/batman/0/members/m1
+    /service/batman/0/members/m2
+    /service/batman/1/            # citus.group=1, worker
+    /service/batman/1/initialize
+    /service/batman/1/leader
+    /service/batman/1/members/
+    /service/batman/1/members/m3
+    /service/batman/1/members/m4
+    ...
+
+Such an approach was chosen because for most DCS it becomes possible to fetch
+the entire Citus cluster with a single recursive read request. Only Citus
+coordinator nodes are reading the whole tree, because they have to discover
+worker nodes. Worker nodes are reading only the subtree for their own group and
+in some cases they could read the subtree of the coordinator group.
+
+Citus on Kubernetes
+-------------------
+
+Since Kubernetes doesn't support hierarchical structures we had to include the
+citus group to all K8s objects Patroni creates::
+
+    batman-0-leader  # the leader config map for the coordinator
+    batman-0-config  # the config map holding initialize, config, and history "keys"
+    ...
+    batman-1-leader  # the leader config map for worker group 1
+    batman-1-config
+    ...
+
+I.e., the naming pattern is: ``${scope}-${citus.group}-${type}``.
+
+All Kubernetes objects are discovered by Patroni using the `label selector`__,
+therefore all Pods with Patroni&Citus and Endpoints/ConfigMaps must have
+similar labels, and Patroni must be configured to use them using Kubernetes
+:ref:`settings <kubernetes_settings>` or :ref:`environment variables
+<kubernetes_environment>`.
+

+allows Patroni to identify object as belonging to a certain Citus group. In
+addition to that, there is also ``PATRONI_CITUS_GROUP`` environment variable,
+which has the same value as the ``citus-group`` label. When Patroni creates
+new Kubernetes objects ConfigMaps or Endpoints, it automatically puts the
+``citus-group: ${env.PATRONI_CITUS_GROUP}`` label on them:
+
+.. code:: YAML
+
+        apiVersion: v1
+        kind: ConfigMap
+        metadata:
+          name: citusdemo-0-leader  # Is generated as ${env.PATRONI_SCOPE}-${env.PATRONI_CITUS_GROUP}-leader
+          labels:
+            application: patroni    # Is set from the ${env.PATRONI_KUBERNETES_LABELS}
+            cluster-name: citusdemo # Is automatically set from the ${env.PATRONI_SCOPE}
+            citus-group: '0'        # Is automatically set from the ${env.PATRONI_CITUS_GROUP}
+

+support in the `kubernetes`__ folder of the Patroni repository.

+
+Citus upgrades and PostgreSQL major upgrades
+--------------------------------------------
+
+First, please read about upgrading Citus version in the `documentation`__.
+There is one minor change in the process. When executing upgrade, you have to
+use ``patronictl restart`` instead of ``systemctl restart`` to restart
+PostgreSQL.
+
+__ https://docs.citusdata.com/en/latest/admin_guide/upgrading_citus.html
+
+The PostgreSQL major upgrade with Citus is a bit more complex. You will have to
+combine techniques used in the Citus documentation about major upgrades and
+Patroni documentation about :ref:`PostgreSQL major upgrade<major_upgrade>`.
+Please keep in mind that Citus cluster consists of many Patroni clusters
+(coordinator and workers) and they all have to be upgraded independently.

+
+Running tests
+-------------
+
+Requirements for running behave tests:
+
+1. PostgreSQL packages need to be installed.
+2. PostgreSQL binaries must be available in your `PATH`. You may need to add them to the path with something like `PATH=/usr/lib/postgresql/11/bin:$PATH python -m behave`.
+3. If you'd like to test with external DCSs (e.g., Etcd, Consul, and Zookeeper) you'll need the packages installed and respective services running and accepting unencrypted/unprotected connections on localhost and default port. In the case of Etcd or Consul, the behave test suite could start them up if binaries are available in the `PATH`.
+
+Install dependencies:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # You may want to use Virtualenv or specify pip3.
+    pip install -r requirements.txt
+    pip install -r requirements.dev.txt
+
+After you have all dependencies installed, you can run the various test suites:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # You may want to use Virtualenv or specify python3.
+
+    # Run flake8 to check syntax and formatting:
+    python setup.py flake8
+
+    # Run the pytest suite in tests/:
+    python setup.py test
+
+    # Run the behave (https://behave.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) test suite in features/;
+    # modify DCS as desired (raft has no dependencies so is the easiest to start with):
+    DCS=raft python -m behave
+
+Testing with tox
+----------------
+
+To run tox tests you only need to install one dependency (other than Python)
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    pip install tox>=4
+
+If you wish to run `behave` tests then you also need docker installed.
+
+Tox configuration in `tox.ini` has "environments" to run the following tasks:
+
+* lint: Python code lint with `flake8`
+* test: unit tests for all available python interpreters with `pytest`,
+  generates XML reports or HTML reports if a TTY is detected
+* dep: detect package dependency conflicts using `pipdeptree`
+* type: static type checking with `pyright`
+* black: code formatting with `black`
+* docker-build: build docker image used for the `behave` env
+* docker-cmd: run arbitrary command with the above image
+* docker-behave-etcd: run tox for behave tests with above image
+* py*behave: run behave with available python interpreters (without docker, although
+  this is what is called inside docker containers)
+* docs: build docs with `sphinx`
+
+Running tox
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To run the default env list; dep, lint, test, and docs, just run:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    tox
+
+The `test` envs can be run with the label `test`:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   tox -m test
+
+The `behave` docker tests can be run with the label `behave`:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   tox -m behave
+
+Similarly, docs has the label `docs`.
+
+All other envs can be run with their respective env names:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   tox -e lint
+   tox -e py39-test-lin
+
+It is also possible to select partial env lists using `factors`. For example, if you want to run
+all envs for python 3.10:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    tox -f py310
+
+This is equivalent to running all the envs listed below:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ tox -l -f py310
+    py310-test-lin
+    py310-test-mac
+    py310-test-win
+    py310-type-lin
+    py310-type-mac
+    py310-type-win
+    py310-behave-etcd-lin
+    py310-behave-etcd-win
+    py310-behave-etcd-mac
+
+
+You can list all configured combinations of environments with tox (>=v4) like so
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    tox l
+
+The envs `test` and `docs` will attempt to open the HTML output files
+when the job completes, if tox is run with an active terminal. This
+is intended to be for benefit of the developer running this env locally.
+It will attempt to run `open` on a mac and `xdg-open` on Linux.
+To use a different command set the env var `OPEN_CMD` to the name or path of
+the command. If this step fails it will not fail the run overall.
+If you want to disable this facility set the env var `OPEN_CMD` to the `:` no-op command.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   OPEN_CMD=: tox -m docs
+
+Behave tests
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Behave tests with `-m behave` will build docker images based on PG_MAJOR version 11 through 15 and then run all
+behave tests. This can take quite a long time to run so you might want to limit the scope to a select version of
+Postgres or to a specific feature set or steps.
+
+To specify the version of postgres include the full name of the dependent image build env that you want and then the
+behave env name. For instance if you want Postgres 15 use:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    tox -e pg14-docker-build,pg14-docker-behave-etcd-lin
+
+If on the other hand you want to test a specific feature you can pass positional arguments to behave. This will run
+the watchdog behave feature test scenario with all versions of Postgres.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    tox -m behave -- features/watchdog.feature
+
+Of course you can combine the two.

+
+DCS Failsafe Mode
+=================
+
+The problem
+-----------
+
+Patroni is heavily relying on Distributed Configuration Store (DCS) to solve the task of leader elections and detect network partitioning. That is, the node is allowed to run Postgres as the primary only if it can update the leader lock in DCS. In case the update of the leader lock fails, Postgres is immediately demoted and started as read-only. Depending on which DCS is used, the chances of hitting the "problem" differ. For example, with Etcd which is only used for Patroni, chances are close to zero, while with K8s API (backed by Etcd) it could be observed more frequently.
+
+
+Reasons for the current implementation
+---------------------------------------
+
+The leader lock update failure could be caused by two main reasons:
+
+1. Network partitioning
+2. DCS being down
+
+In general, it is impossible to distinguish between these two from a single node, and therefore Patroni assumes the worst case - network partitioning. In the case of a partitioned network, other nodes of the Patroni cluster may successfully grab the leader lock and promote Postgres to primary. In order to avoid a split-brain, the old primary is demoted before the leader lock expires.
+
+
+DCS Failsafe Mode
+-----------------
+
+We introduce a new special option, the ``failsafe_mode``. It could be enabled only via global :ref:`dynamic configuration <dynamic_configuration>` stored in the DCS ``/config`` key. If the failsafe mode is enabled and the leader lock update in DCS failed due to reasons different from the version/value/index mismatch, Postgres may continue to run as a primary if it can access all known members of the cluster via Patroni REST API.
+
+
+Low-level implementation details
+--------------------------------
+
+- We introduce a new, permanent key in DCS, named ``/failsafe``.
+- The ``/failsafe`` key contains all known members of the given Patroni cluster at a given time.
+- The current leader maintains the ``/failsafe`` key.
+- The member is allowed to participate in the leader race and become the new leader only if it is present in the ``/failsafe`` key.
+- If the cluster consists of a single node the ``/failsafe`` key will contain a single member.
+- In the case of DCS "outage" the existing primary connects to all members presented in the ``/failsafe`` key via the ``POST /failsafe`` REST API and may continue to run as the primary if all replicas acknowledge it.
+- If one of the members doesn't respond, the primary is demoted.
+- Replicas are using incoming ``POST /failsafe`` REST API requests as an indicator that the primary is still alive. This information is cached for ``ttl`` seconds.
+
+
+F.A.Q.
+------
+
+- Why MUST the current primary see ALL other members? Can’t we rely on quorum here?
+
+  This is a great question! The problem is that the view on the quorum might be different from the perspective of DCS and Patroni. While DCS nodes must be evenly distributed across availability zones, there is no such rule for Patroni, and more importantly, there is no mechanism for introducing and enforcing such a rule. If the majority of Patroni nodes ends up in the losing part of the partitioned network (including primary) while minority nodes are in the winning part, the primary must be demoted. Only checking ALL other members allows detecting such a situation.
+
+- What if node/pod gets terminated while DCS is down?
+
+  If DCS isn’t accessible, the check “are ALL other cluster members accessible?” is executed every cycle of the heartbeat loop (every ``loop_wait`` seconds). If pod/node is terminated, the check will fail and Postgres will be demoted to a read-only and will not recover until DCS is restored.
+
+- What if all members of the Patroni cluster are lost while DCS is down?
+
+  Patroni could be configured to create the new replica from the backup even when the cluster doesn't have a leader. But, if the new member isn't present in the ``/failsafe`` key, it will not be able to grab the leader lock and promote.
+
+- What will happen if the primary lost access to DCS while replicas didn't?
+
+  The primary will execute the failsafe code and contact all known replicas. These replicas will use this information as an indicator that the primary is alive and will not start the leader race even if the leader lock in DCS has expired.
+
+- How to enable the Failsafe Mode?
+
+  Before enabling the ``failsafe_mode`` please make sure that Patroni version on all members is up-to-date. After that, you can use either the ``PATCH /config`` :ref:`REST API <rest_api>` or ``patronictl edit-config -s failsafe_mode=true``

 .. _dynamic_configuration:
 
-Patroni configuration
-=====================
+==============================
+Dynamic Configuration Settings
+==============================
 
-Patroni configuration is stored in the DCS (Distributed Configuration Store). There are 3 types of configuration:
+Dynamic configuration is stored in the DCS (Distributed Configuration Store) and applied on all cluster nodes.
 
-- Dynamic configuration.
-	These options can be set in DCS at any time. If the options changed are not part of the startup configuration,
-	they are applied asynchronously (upon the next wake up cycle) to every node, which gets subsequently reloaded.
-	If the node requires a restart to apply the configuration (for options with context postmaster, if their values
-	have changed), a special flag, ``pending_restart`` indicating this, is set in the members.data JSON.
-	Additionally, the node status also indicates this, by showing ``"restart_pending": true``.
+In order to change the dynamic configuration you can use either ``patronictl edit-config`` tool or Patroni :ref:`REST API <rest_api>`.
 
-- Local :ref:`configuration <settings>` (patroni.yml).
-	These options are defined in the configuration file and take precedence over dynamic configuration.
-	patroni.yml could be changed and reloaded in runtime (without restart of Patroni) by sending SIGHUP to the Patroni process, performing ``POST /reload`` REST-API request or executing ``patronictl reload``.
+-  **loop\_wait**: the number of seconds the loop will sleep. Default value: 10
+-  **ttl**: the TTL to acquire the leader lock (in seconds). Think of it as the length of time before initiation of the automatic failover process. Default value: 30
+-  **retry\_timeout**: timeout for DCS and PostgreSQL operation retries (in seconds). DCS or network issues shorter than this will not cause Patroni to demote the leader. Default value: 10
+-  **maximum\_lag\_on\_failover**: the maximum bytes a follower may lag to be able to participate in leader election.
+-  **maximum\_lag\_on\_syncnode**: the maximum bytes a synchronous follower may lag before it is considered as an unhealthy candidate and swapped by healthy asynchronous follower. Patroni utilize the max replica lsn if there is more than one follower, otherwise it will use leader's current wal lsn. Default is -1, Patroni will not take action to swap synchronous unhealthy follower when the value is set to 0 or below. Please set the value high enough so Patroni won't swap synchrounous follower fequently during high transaction volume.
+-  **max\_timelines\_history**: maximum number of timeline history items kept in DCS.  Default value: 0. When set to 0, it keeps the full history in DCS.
+-  **primary\_start\_timeout**: the amount of time a primary is allowed to recover from failures before failover is triggered (in seconds). Default is 300 seconds. When set to 0 failover is done immediately after a crash is detected if possible. When using asynchronous replication a failover can cause lost transactions. Worst case failover time for primary failure is: loop\_wait + primary\_start\_timeout + loop\_wait, unless primary\_start\_timeout is zero, in which case it's just loop\_wait. Set the value according to your durability/availability tradeoff.
+-  **primary\_stop\_timeout**: The number of seconds Patroni is allowed to wait when stopping Postgres and effective only when synchronous_mode is enabled. When set to > 0 and the synchronous_mode is enabled, Patroni sends SIGKILL to the postmaster if the stop operation is running for more than the value set by primary\_stop\_timeout. Set the value according to your durability/availability tradeoff. If the parameter is not set or set <= 0, primary\_stop\_timeout does not apply.
+-  **synchronous\_mode**: turns on synchronous replication mode. In this mode a replica will be chosen as synchronous and only the latest leader and synchronous replica are able to participate in leader election. Synchronous mode makes sure that successfully committed transactions will not be lost at failover, at the cost of losing availability for writes when Patroni cannot ensure transaction durability. See :ref:`replication modes documentation <replication_modes>` for details.
+-  **synchronous\_mode\_strict**: prevents disabling synchronous replication if no synchronous replicas are available, blocking all client writes to the primary. See :ref:`replication modes documentation <replication_modes>` for details.
+-  **failsafe\_mode**: Enables :ref:`DCS Failsafe Mode <dcs_failsafe_mode>`. Defaults to `false`.
+-  **postgresql**:
 
-- Environment :ref:`configuration <environment>`.
-	It is possible to set/override some of the "Local" configuration parameters with environment variables.
-	Environment configuration is very useful when you are running in a dynamic environment and you don't know some of the parameters in advance (for example it's not possible to know your external IP address when you are running inside ``docker``).
+   -  **use\_pg\_rewind**: whether or not to use pg_rewind. Defaults to `false`.
+   -  **use\_slots**: whether or not to use replication slots. Defaults to `true` on PostgreSQL 9.4+.
+   -  **recovery\_conf**: additional configuration settings written to recovery.conf when configuring follower. There is no recovery.conf anymore in PostgreSQL 12, but you may continue using this section, because Patroni handles it transparently.
+   -  **parameters**: list of configuration settings for Postgres.
 
-The local configuration can be either a single YAML file or a directory. When it is a directory, all YAML files in that directory are loaded one by one in sorted order. In case a key is defined in multiple files, the occurrence in the last file takes precedence.
+   -  **pg\_hba**: list of lines that Patroni will use to generate ``pg_hba.conf``. Patroni ignores this parameter if ``hba_file`` PostgreSQL parameter is set to a non-default value.
 
-Some of the PostgreSQL parameters must hold the same values on the master and the replicas. For those, values set either in the local patroni configuration files or via the environment variables take no effect. To alter or set their values one must change the shared configuration in the DCS. Below is the actual list of such parameters together with the default values:
+      -  **- host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5**
+      -  **- host replication replicator 127.0.0.1/32 md5**: A line like this is required for replication.
 
-- max_connections: 100
-- max_locks_per_transaction: 64
-- max_worker_processes: 8
-- max_prepared_transactions: 0
-- wal_level: hot_standby
-- wal_log_hints: on
-- track_commit_timestamp: off
+   -  **pg\_ident**: list of lines that Patroni will use to generate ``pg_ident.conf``. Patroni ignores this parameter if ``ident_file`` PostgreSQL parameter is set to a non-default value.
 
-For the parameters below, PostgreSQL does not require equal values among the master and all the replicas. However, considering the possibility of a replica to become the master at any time, it doesn't really make sense to set them differently; therefore, Patroni restricts setting their values to the Dynamic configuration
+      -  **- mapname1 systemname1 pguser1**
+      -  **- mapname1 systemname2 pguser2**
 
-- max_wal_senders: 5
-- max_replication_slots: 5
-- wal_keep_segments: 8
-- wal_keep_size: 128MB
+-  **standby\_cluster**: if this section is defined, we want to bootstrap a standby cluster.
 
-These parameters are validated to ensure they are sane, or meet a minimum value.
+   -  **host**: an address of remote node
+   -  **port**: a port of remote node
+   -  **primary\_slot\_name**: which slot on the remote node to use for replication. This parameter is optional, the default value is derived from the instance name (see function `slot_name_from_member_name`).
+   -  **create\_replica\_methods**: an ordered list of methods that can be used to bootstrap standby leader from the remote primary, can be different from the list defined in :ref:`postgresql_settings`
+   -  **restore\_command**: command to restore WAL records from the remote primary to nodes in a standby cluster, can be different from the list defined in :ref:`postgresql_settings`
+   -  **archive\_cleanup\_command**: cleanup command for standby leader
+   -  **recovery\_min\_apply\_delay**: how long to wait before actually apply WAL records on a standby leader
 
-There are some other Postgres parameters controlled by Patroni:
+-  **slots**: define permanent replication slots. These slots will be preserved during switchover/failover. Permanent slots that don't exist will be created by Patroni. The physical slots are maintained only in the current primary. The logical slots are copied from the primary to a standby with restart, and after that their position advanced every **loop_wait** seconds (if necessary). Copying logical slot files performed via ``libpq`` connection and using either rewind or superuser credentials (see **postgresql.authentication** section). There is always a chance that the logical slot position on the replica is a bit behind the former primary, therefore application should be prepared that some messages could be received the second time after the failover. The easiest way of doing so - tracking ``confirmed_flush_lsn``. Enabling permanent logical replication slots requires **postgresql.use_slots** to be set and will also automatically enable the ``hot_standby_feedback``. Since the failover of logical replication slots is unsafe on PostgreSQL 9.6 and older and PostgreSQL version 10 is missing some important functions, the feature only works with PostgreSQL 11+.
 
-- listen_addresses - is set either from ``postgresql.listen`` or from ``PATRONI_POSTGRESQL_LISTEN`` environment variable
-- port - is set either from ``postgresql.listen`` or from ``PATRONI_POSTGRESQL_LISTEN`` environment variable
-- cluster_name - is set either from ``scope`` or from ``PATRONI_SCOPE`` environment variable
-- hot_standby: on
+   -  **my\_slot\_name**: the name of the permanent replication slot. If the permanent slot name matches with the name of the current leader it will not be created. Please note that Patroni does not make checks for permanent slot names added to this configuration matching those that Patroni creates automatically for members. If those names are added, Patroni will ensure that any slots that were created are not removed even if the member becomes unresponsive, situation which would normally result in the slot's removal by Patroni. Although this can be useful in some situations, such as when importing existing members to a new Patroni cluster (see :ref:`Convert a Standalone to a Patroni Cluster <existing_data>` for details), caution should be exercised by the operator that these clashes in names are not persisted in the DCS due to its effect on normal functioning of Patroni.
 
-To be on the safe side parameters from the above lists are not written into ``postgresql.conf``, but passed as a list of arguments to the ``pg_ctl start`` which gives them the highest precedence, even above `ALTER SYSTEM <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-altersystem.html>`__
+      -  **type**: slot type. Could be ``physical`` or ``logical``. If the slot is logical, you have to additionally define ``database`` and ``plugin``.
+      -  **database**: the database name where logical slots should be created.
+      -  **plugin**: the plugin name for the logical slot.
 
+-  **ignore\_slots**: list of sets of replication slot properties for which Patroni should ignore matching slots. This configuration/feature/etc. is useful when some replication slots are managed outside of Patroni. Any subset of matching properties will cause a slot to be ignored.
 
-When applying the local or dynamic configuration options, the following actions are taken:
+   -  **name**: the name of the replication slot.
+   -  **type**: slot type. Can be ``physical`` or ``logical``. If the slot is logical, you may additionally define ``database`` and/or ``plugin``.
+   -  **database**: the database name (when matching a ``logical`` slot).
+   -  **plugin**: the logical decoding plugin (when matching a ``logical`` slot).
 
-- The node first checks if there is a postgresql.base.conf or if the ``custom_conf`` parameter is set.
-- If the `custom_conf` parameter is set, it will take the file specified on it as a base configuration, ignoring `postgresql.base.conf` and `postgresql.conf`.
-- If the `custom_conf` parameter is not set and `postgresql.base.conf` exists, it contains the renamed "original" configuration and it will be used as a base configuration.
-- If there is no `custom_conf` nor `postgresql.base.conf`, the original postgresql.conf is taken and renamed to postgresql.base.conf.
-- The dynamic options (with the exceptions above) are dumped into the postgresql.conf and an include is set in
-  postgresql.conf to the used base configuration (either postgresql.base.conf or what is on ``custom_conf``). Therefore, we would be able to apply new options without re-reading the configuration file to check if the include is present not.
-- Some parameters that are essential for Patroni to manage the cluster are overridden using the command line.
-- If some of the options that require restart are changed (we should look at the context in pg_settings and at the actual
-  values of those options), a pending_restart flag of a given node is set. This flag is reset on any restart.
+Note: **slots** is a hashmap while **ignore_slots** is an array. For example:
 
-The parameters would be applied in the following order (run-time are given the highest priority):
+.. code:: YAML
 
-1. load parameters from file `postgresql.base.conf` (or from a `custom_conf` file, if set)
-2. load parameters from file `postgresql.conf`
-3. load parameters from file `postgresql.auto.conf`
-4. run-time parameter using `-o --name=value`
-
-This allows configuration for all the nodes (2), configuration for a specific node using `ALTER SYSTEM` (3) and ensures that parameters essential to the running of Patroni are enforced (4), as well as leaves room for configuration tools that manage `postgresql.conf` directly without involving Patroni (1).
-
-
-Also, the following Patroni configuration options can be changed only dynamically:
-
-- ttl: 30
-- loop_wait: 10
-- retry_timeouts: 10
-- maximum_lag_on_failover: 1048576
-- max_timelines_history: 0
-- check_timeline: false
-- postgresql.use_slots: true
-
-Upon changing these options, Patroni will read the relevant section of the configuration stored in DCS and change its
-run-time values.
-
-Patroni nodes are dumping the state of the DCS options to disk upon for every change of the configuration into the file ``patroni.dynamic.json`` located in the Postgres data directory. Only the master is allowed to restore these options from the on-disk dump if these are completely absent from the DCS or if they are invalid.

 ---------
 
-A Patroni cluster can be started with a data directory from a single-node PostgreSQL database. This is achieved by following closely these steps:
+You can find below an overview of steps for converting an existing Postgres cluster to a Patroni managed cluster. In the steps we assume all nodes that are part of the existing cluster are currently up and running, and that you *do not* intend to change Postgres configuration while the migration is ongoing. The steps:
 
-1. Manually start PostgreSQL daemon
-2. Create Patroni superuser and replication users as defined in the :ref:`authentication <postgresql_settings>` section of the Patroni configuration. If this user is created in SQL, the following queries achieve this:
+#. Create the Postgres users as explained for :ref:`authentication <postgresql_settings>` section of the Patroni configuration. You can find sample SQL commands to create the users in the code block below, in which you need to replace the usernames and passwords as per your environment. If you already have the relevant users, then you can skip this step.
 
-.. code-block:: sql

-   CREATE USER $PATRONI_SUPERUSER_USERNAME WITH SUPERUSER ENCRYPTED PASSWORD '$PATRONI_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD';
-   CREATE USER $PATRONI_REPLICATION_USERNAME WITH REPLICATION ENCRYPTED PASSWORD '$PATRONI_REPLICATION_PASSWORD';
+      -- Patroni superuser
+      -- Replace PATRONI_SUPERUSER_USERNAME and PATRONI_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD accordingly
+      CREATE USER PATRONI_SUPERUSER_USERNAME WITH SUPERUSER ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'PATRONI_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD';
 
-3. Start Patroni (e.g. ``patroni /etc/patroni/patroni.yml``). It automatically detects that PostgreSQL daemon is already running but its configuration might be out-of-date.
-4. Ask Patroni to restart the node with ``patronictl restart cluster-name node-name``. This step is only required if PostgreSQL configuration is out-of-date.
+      -- Patroni replication user
+      -- Replace PATRONI_REPLICATION_USERNAME and PATRONI_REPLICATION_PASSWORD accordingly
+      CREATE USER PATRONI_REPLICATION_USERNAME WITH REPLICATION ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'PATRONI_REPLICATION_PASSWORD';
+
+      -- Patroni rewind user, if you intend to enable use_pg_rewind in your Patroni configuration
+      -- Replace PATRONI_REWIND_USERNAME and PATRONI_REWIND_PASSWORD accordingly
+      CREATE USER PATRONI_REWIND_USERNAME WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'PATRONI_REWIND_PASSWORD';
+      GRANT EXECUTE ON function pg_catalog.pg_ls_dir(text, boolean, boolean) TO PATRONI_REWIND_USERNAME;

+
+#. Perform the following steps on all Postgres nodes. Perform all steps on one node before proceeding with the next node. Start with the primary node, then proceed with each standby node:
+
+   #. If you are running Postgres through systemd, then disable the Postgres systemd unit. This is performed as Patroni manages starting and stopping the Postgres daemon.
+
+   #. Create a YAML configuration file for Patroni.
+
+      * **Note (specific for the primary node):** If you have replication slots being used for replication between cluster members, then it is recommended that you enable ``use_slots`` and configure the existing replication slots as permanent via the ``slots`` configuration item. Be aware that Patroni automatically creates replication slots for replication between members, and drops replication slots that it does not recognize, when ``use_slots`` is enabled. The idea of using permanent slots here is to allow your existing slots to persist while the migration to Patroni is in progress. See :ref:`YAML Configuration Settings <yaml_configuration>` for details.
+
+   #. Start Patroni using the ``patroni`` systemd service unit. It automatically detects that Postgres is already running and starts monitoring the instance.
+
+#. Hand over Postgres "start up procedure" to Patroni. In order to do that you need to restart the cluster members through ``patronictl restart cluster-name member-name`` command. For minimal downtime you might want to split this step into:
+
+   #. Immediate restart of the standby nodes.
+   #. Scheduled restart of the primary node within a maintenance window.
+
+#. If you configured permanent slots in step ``1.2.``, then you should remove them from ``slots`` configuration through ``patronictl edit-config cluster-name member-name`` command once the ``restart_lsn`` of the slots created by Patroni is able to catch up with the ``restart_lsn`` of the original slots for the corresponding members. By removing the slots from ``slots`` configuration you will allow Patroni to drop the original slots from your cluster once they are not needed anymore. You can find below an example query to check the ``restart_lsn`` of a couple slots, so you can compare them:
+
+   .. code-block:: sql
+
+      -- Assume original_slot_for_member_x is the name of the slot in your original
+      -- cluster for replicating changes to member X, and slot_for_member_x is the
+      -- slot created by Patroni for that purpose. You need restart_lsn of
+      -- slot_for_member_x to be >= restart_lsn of original_slot_for_member_x
+      SELECT slot_name,
+             restart_lsn
+      FROM pg_replication_slots
+      WHERE slot_name IN (
+          'original_slot_for_member_x',
+          'slot_for_member_x'
+      )

 Major Upgrade of PostgreSQL Version
 ===================================
 
 The only possible way to do a major upgrade currently is:
 
-1. Stop Patroni
-2. Upgrade PostgreSQL binaries and perform `pg_upgrade <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/pgupgrade.html>`_ on the master node
-3. Update patroni.yml
-4. Remove the initialize key from DCS or wipe complete cluster state from DCS. The second one could be achieved by running ``patronictl remove <cluster-name>``. It is necessary because pg_upgrade runs initdb which actually creates a new database with a new PostgreSQL system identifier.
-5. If you wiped the cluster state in the previous step, you may wish to copy patroni.dynamic.json from old data dir to the new one.  It will help you to retain some PostgreSQL parameters you had set before.
-6. Start Patroni on the master node.
-7. Upgrade PostgreSQL binaries, update patroni.yml and wipe the data_dir on standby nodes.
-8. Start Patroni on the standby nodes and wait for the replication to complete.

 Running pg_upgrade on standby nodes is not supported by PostgreSQL. If you know what you are doing, you can try the rsync procedure described in https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/pgupgrade.html instead of wiping data_dir on standby nodes. The safest way is however to let Patroni replicate the data for you.

+
+===================
+HA multi datacenter
+===================
+
+The high availability of a PostgreSQL cluster deployed in multiple data centers is based on replication, which can be synchronous or asynchronous (`replication_modes <replication_modes.rst>`_).
+
+In both cases, it is important to be clear about the following concepts:
+
+- Postgres can run as primary or standby leader only when it owns the leading key and can update the leading key.
+- You should run the odd number of etcd, ZooKeeper or Consul nodes: 3 or 5!
+
+Synchronous Replication
+-----------------------
+
+To have a multi DC cluster that can automatically tolerate a zone drop, a minimum of 3 is required.
+
+The architecture diagram would be the following:
+
+.. image:: _static/multi-dc-synchronous-replication.png
+
+We must deploy a cluster of etcd, ZooKeeper or Consul through the different DC, with a minimum of 3 nodes, one in each zone.
+
+Regarding postgres, we must deploy at least 2 nodes, in different DC. Then you have to set ``synchronous_mode: true`` in the global :ref:`dynamic configuration <dynamic_configuration>`.
+
+This enables sync replication and the primary node will choose one of the nodes as synchronous.
+
+Asynchronous Replication
+------------------------
+
+With only two data centers it would be better to have two independent etcd clusters and run Patroni :ref:`standby cluster <standby_cluster>` in the second data center. If the first site is down, you can MANUALLY promote the ``standby_cluster``.
+
+The architecture diagram would be the following:
+
+.. image:: _static/multi-dc-asynchronous-replication.png
+
+Automatic promotion is not possible, because DC2 will never able to figure out the state of DC1.
+
+You should not use ``pg_ctl promote`` in this scenario, you need "manually promote" the healthy cluster by removing ``standby_cluster`` section from the :ref:`dynamic configuration <dynamic_configuration>`.
+
+.. warning::
+    If the source cluster is still up and running and you promote the standby cluster you create a split-brain.
+
+In case you want to return to the "initial" state, there are only two ways of resolving it:
+
+- Add the standby_cluster section back and it will trigger pg_rewind, but there are chances that pg_rewind will fail.
+- Rebuild the standby cluster from scratch.
+
+Before promoting standby cluster one have to manually ensure that the source cluster is down (STONITH). When DC1 recovers, the cluster has to be converted to a standby cluster.
+
+Before doing that you may manually examine the database and extract all changes that happened between the time when network between DC1 and DC2 has stopped working and the time when you manually stopped the cluster in DC1.
+
+Once extracted, you may also manually apply these changes to the cluster in DC2.

+Patroni is a template for high availability (HA) PostgreSQL solutions using Python. For maximum accessibility, Patroni supports a variety of distributed configuration stores like `ZooKeeper <https://zookeeper.apache.org/>`__, `etcd <https://github.com/coreos/etcd>`__, `Consul <https://github.com/hashicorp/consul>`__ or `Kubernetes <https://kubernetes.io>`__. Database engineers, DBAs, DevOps engineers, and SREs who are looking to quickly deploy HA PostgreSQL in datacenters — or anywhere else — will hopefully find it useful.
 
 We call Patroni a "template" because it is far from being a one-size-fits-all or plug-and-play replication system. It will have its own caveats. Use wisely. There are many ways to run high availability with PostgreSQL; for a list, see the `PostgreSQL Documentation <https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Replication,_Clustering,_and_Connection_Pooling>`__.

+Installation
+============
+
+Pre-requirements for Mac OS
+---------------------------
+
+To install requirements on a Mac, run the following:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    brew install postgresql etcd haproxy libyaml python
+
+.. _psycopg2_install_options:
+
+Psycopg
+-------
+
+Starting from `psycopg2-2.8`_ the binary version of psycopg2 will no longer be installed by default. Installing it from
+the source code requires C compiler and postgres+python dev packages. Since in the python world it is not possible to
+specify dependency as ``psycopg2 OR psycopg2-binary`` you will have to decide how to install it.
+
+There are a few options available:
+
+1. Use the package manager from your distro
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    sudo apt-get install python3-psycopg2  # install psycopg2 module on Debian/Ubuntu
+    sudo yum install python3-psycopg2      # install psycopg2 on RedHat/Fedora/CentOS
+
+2. Install psycopg2 from the binary package
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    pip install psycopg2-binary
+
+3. Install psycopg2 from source
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    pip install psycopg2>=2.5.4
+
+4. Use psycopg 3.0 instead of psycopg2
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    pip install psycopg[binary]>=3.0.0
+
+General installation for pip
+----------------------------
+
+Patroni can be installed with pip:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    pip install patroni[dependencies]
+
+where ``dependencies`` can be either empty, or consist of one or more of the following:
+
+etcd or etcd3
+    `python-etcd` module in order to use Etcd as Distributed Configuration Store (DCS)
+consul
+    `python-consul` module in order to use Consul as DCS
+zookeeper
+    `kazoo` module in order to use Zookeeper as DCS
+exhibitor
+    `kazoo` module in order to use Exhibitor as DCS (same dependencies as for Zookeeper)
+kubernetes
+    `kubernetes` module in order to use Kubernetes as DCS in Patroni
+raft
+    `pysyncobj` module in order to use python Raft implementation as DCS
+aws
+    `boto3` in order to use AWS callbacks
+
+For example, the command in order to install Patroni together with dependencies for Etcd as a DCS and AWS callbacks is:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    pip install patroni[etcd,aws]
+
+Note that external tools to call in the replica creation or custom bootstrap scripts (i.e. WAL-E) should be installed
+independently of Patroni.
+
+.. _package_installation:
+
+Package installation on Linux
+-----------------------------
+
+Patroni packages may be available for your operating system, produced by the Postgres community for:
+
+* RHEL, RockyLinux, AlmaLinux;
+* Debian and Ubuntu;
+* SUSE Enterprise Linux.
+
+You can also find packages for direct dependencies of Patroni, like python modules that might not be available in
+the official operating system repositories.
+
+For more information see the `PGDG repository`_ documentation.
+
+If you are on a RedHat Enterprise Linux derivative operating system you may also require packages from EPEL, see
+`EPEL repository`_ documentation.
+
+Once you have installed the PGDG repository for your OS you can install patroni.
+
+.. note::
+
+    Patroni packages are not maintained by the Patroni developers, but rather by the Postgres community. If you
+    require support please first try connecting on `Postgres slack`_.
+
+Installing on Debian derivatives
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+With PGDG repo installed, see :ref:`above <package_installation>`, install Patroni via apt run:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    apt-get install patroni
+
+Installing on RedHat derivatives
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+With PGDG repo installed, see :ref:`above <package_installation>`, install patroni with an etcd DCS via dnf on RHEL 9
+(and derivatives) run:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    dnf install patroni patroni-etcd
+
+You can install etcd from PGDG if your RedHat derivative distribution does not provide packages. On the nodes that will
+host the DCS run:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    dnf install 'dnf-command(config-manager)'
+    dnf config-manager --enable pgdg-rhel9-extras
+    dnf install etcd
+
+You can replace the version of RHEL with `8` in the repo to make `pgdg-rhel8-extras` if needed. The repo name is still
+`pgdg-rhelN-extras` on RockyLinux, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, etc...
+
+Installing on SUSE Enterprise Linux
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+You might need to enable the SUSE PackageHub repositories for some dependencies. see `SUSE PackageHub`_ documentation.
+
+For SLES 15 with PGDG repo installed, see :ref:`above <package_installation>`, you can install patroni using:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    zypper install patroni patroni-etcd
+
+With the SUSE PackageHub repo enabled you can also install etcd:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    SUSEConnect -p PackageHub/15.5/x86_64
+    zypper install etcd
+
+Upgrading
+---------
+
+Upgrading patroni is a very simple process, just update the software installation and restart the Patroni daemon on
+each node in the cluster.
+
+However, restarting the Patroni daemon will result in a Postgres database restart. In some situations this may cause
+a failover of the primary node in your cluster, therefore it is recommended to put the cluster into maintenance mode
+until the Patroni daemon restart has been completed.
+
+To put the cluster in maintenance mode, run the following command on one of the patroni nodes:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    patronictl pause --wait
+
+Then on each node in the cluster, perform the package upgrade required for your OS:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    apt-get update && apt-get install patroni patroni-etcd
+
+Restart the patroni daemon process on each node:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    systemctl restart patroni
+
+Then finally resume monitoring of Postgres with patroni to take it out of maintenance mode:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    patronictl resume --wait
+
+The cluster will now be full operational with the new version of Patroni.

+Patroni configuration
+=====================
+
+.. toctree::
+   :hidden:
+
+   dynamic_configuration
+   yaml_configuration
+   ENVIRONMENT
+
+
+There are 3 types of Patroni configuration:
+
+- Global :ref:`dynamic configuration <dynamic_configuration>`.
+	These options are stored in the DCS (Distributed Configuration Store) and applied on all cluster nodes.
+	Dynamic configuration can be set at any time using ``patronictl edit-config`` tool or Patroni :ref:`REST API <rest_api>`.
+	If the options changed are not part of the startup configuration, they are applied asynchronously (upon the next wake up cycle)
+	to every node, which gets subsequently reloaded.
+	If the node requires a restart to apply the configuration (for `PostgreSQL parameters <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/view-pg-settings.html>`__ with context postmaster, if their values
+	have changed), a special flag ``pending_restart`` indicating this is set in the members.data JSON.
+	Additionally, the node status indicates this by showing ``"restart_pending": true``.
+
+- Local :ref:`configuration file <yaml_configuration>` (patroni.yml).
+	These options are defined in the configuration file and take precedence over dynamic configuration.
+	``patroni.yml`` can be changed and reloaded at runtime (without restart of Patroni) by sending SIGHUP to the Patroni process, performing ``POST /reload`` REST-API request or executing ``patronictl reload``. Local configuration can be either a single YAML file or a directory. When it is a directory, all YAML files in that directory are loaded one by one in sorted order. In case a key is defined in multiple files, the occurrence in the last file takes precedence.
+
+- :ref:`Environment configuration <environment>`.
+	It is possible to set/override some of the "Local" configuration parameters with environment variables.
+	Environment configuration is very useful when you are running in a dynamic environment and you don't know some of the parameters in advance (for example it's not possible to know your external IP address when you are running inside ``docker``).
+
+
+Important rules
+---------------
+
+PostgreSQL parameters controlled by Patroni
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Some of the PostgreSQL parameters **must hold the same values on the primary and the replicas**. For those, **values set either in the local patroni configuration files or via the environment variables take no effect**. To alter or set their values one must change the shared configuration in the DCS. Below is the actual list of such parameters together with the default values:
+
+- **max_connections**: 100
+- **max_locks_per_transaction**: 64
+- **max_worker_processes**: 8
+- **max_prepared_transactions**: 0
+- **wal_level**: hot_standby
+- **track_commit_timestamp**: off
+
+For the parameters below, PostgreSQL does not require equal values among the primary and all the replicas. However, considering the possibility of a replica to become the primary at any time, it doesn't really make sense to set them differently; therefore, **Patroni restricts setting their values to the** :ref:`dynamic configuration <dynamic_configuration>`.
+
+- **max_wal_senders**: 5
+- **max_replication_slots**: 5
+- **wal_keep_segments**: 8
+- **wal_keep_size**: 128MB
+
+These parameters are validated to ensure they are sane, or meet a minimum value.
+
+There are some other Postgres parameters controlled by Patroni:
+
+- **listen_addresses** - is set either from ``postgresql.listen`` or from ``PATRONI_POSTGRESQL_LISTEN`` environment variable
+- **port** - is set either from ``postgresql.listen`` or from ``PATRONI_POSTGRESQL_LISTEN`` environment variable
+- **cluster_name** - is set either from ``scope`` or from ``PATRONI_SCOPE`` environment variable
+- **hot_standby: on**
+- **wal_log_hints: on** - for Postgres 9.4 and newer.
+
+To be on the safe side parameters from the above lists are not written into ``postgresql.conf``, but passed as a list of arguments to the ``pg_ctl start`` which gives them the highest precedence, even above `ALTER SYSTEM <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-altersystem.html>`__
+
+There also are some parameters like **postgresql.listen**, **postgresql.data_dir** that **can be set only locally**, i.e. in the Patroni :ref:`config file <yaml_configuration>` or via :ref:`configuration <environment>` variable. In most cases the local configuration will override the dynamic configuration.
+
+
+When applying the local or dynamic configuration options, the following actions are taken:
+
+- The node first checks if there is a `postgresql.base.conf` or if the ``custom_conf`` parameter is set.
+- If the ``custom_conf`` parameter is set, it will take the file specified on it as a base configuration, ignoring `postgresql.base.conf` and `postgresql.conf`.
+- If the ``custom_conf`` parameter is not set and `postgresql.base.conf` exists, it contains the renamed "original" configuration and it will be used as a base configuration.
+- If there is no ``custom_conf``` nor `postgresql.base.conf`, the original `postgresql.conf`` is taken and renamed to postgresql.base.conf.
+- The dynamic options (with the exceptions above) are dumped into the `postgresql.conf`` and an include is set in
+  postgresql.conf to the used base configuration (either `postgresql.base.conf` or what is on ``custom_conf``). Therefore, we would be able to apply new options without re-reading the configuration file to check if the include is present not.
+- Some parameters that are essential for Patroni to manage the cluster are overridden using the command line.
+- If some of the options that require restart are changed (we should look at the context in pg_settings and at the actual
+  values of those options), a pending_restart flag of a given node is set. This flag is reset on any restart.
+
+The parameters would be applied in the following order (run-time are given the highest priority):
+
+1. load parameters from file `postgresql.base.conf` (or from a ``custom_conf`` file, if set)
+2. load parameters from file `postgresql.conf`
+3. load parameters from file `postgresql.auto.conf`
+4. run-time parameter using `-o --name=value`
+
+This allows configuration for all the nodes (2), configuration for a specific node using ``ALTER SYSTEM`` (3) and ensures that parameters essential to the running of Patroni are enforced (4), as well as leaves room for configuration tools that manage `postgresql.conf` directly without involving Patroni (1).
+
+
+PostgreSQL parameters that touch shared memory
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+PostgreSQL has some parameters that determine the size of the shared memory used by them:
+
+- **max_connections**
+- **max_prepared_transactions**
+- **max_locks_per_transaction**
+- **max_wal_senders**
+- **max_worker_processes**
+
+Changing these parameters require a PostgreSQL restart to take effect, and their shared memory structures cannot be smaller on the standby nodes than on the primary node.
+
+As explained before, Patroni restrict changing their values through :ref:`dynamic configuration <dynamic_configuration>`, which usually consists of:
+
+1. Applying changes through ``patronictl edit-config`` (or via REST API ``/config`` endpoint)
+2. Restarting nodes through ``patronictl restart`` (or via REST API ``/restart`` endpoint)
+
+**Note:** please keep in mind that you should perform a restart of the PostgreSQL nodes through ``patronictl restart`` command, or via REST API ``/restart`` endpoint. An attempt to restart PostgreSQL by restarting the Patroni daemon, e.g. by executing ``systemctl restart patroni``, can cause a failover to occur in the cluster, if you are restarting the primary node.
+
+However, as those settings manage shared memory, some extra care should be taken when restarting the nodes:
+
+* If you want to **increase** the value of any of those settings:
+
+   1. Restart all standbys first
+   2. Restart the primary after that
+
+* If you want to **decrease** the value of any of those settings:
+
+   1. Restart the primary first
+   2. Restart all standbys after that
+
+**Note:** if you attempt to restart all nodes in one go after **decreasing** the value of any of those settings, Patroni will ignore the change and restart the standby with the original setting value, thus requiring that you restart the standbys again later. Patroni does that to prevent the standby to enter in an infinite crash loop, because PostgreSQL quits with a `FATAL` message if you attempt to set any of those parameters to a value lower than what is visible in ``pg_controldata`` on the Standby node. In other words, we can only decrease the setting on the standby once its ``pg_controldata`` is up-to-date with the primary in regards to these changes on the primary.
+
+More information about that can be found at `PostgreSQL Administrator's Overview <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/hot-standby.html#HOT-STANDBY-ADMIN>`__.
+
+Patroni configuration parameters
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Also the following Patroni configuration options **can be changed only dynamically**:
+
+- **ttl**: 30
+- **loop_wait**: 10
+- **retry_timeouts**: 10
+- **maximum_lag_on_failover**: 1048576
+- **max_timelines_history**: 0
+- **check_timeline**: false
+- **postgresql.use_slots**: true
+
+Upon changing these options, Patroni will read the relevant section of the configuration stored in DCS and change its run-time values.
+
+Patroni nodes are dumping the state of the DCS options to disk upon for every change of the configuration into the file ``patroni.dynamic.json`` located in the Postgres data directory. Only the leader is allowed to restore these options from the on-disk dump if these are completely absent from the DCS or if they are invalid.

 Switchover and failover endpoints
 ---------------------------------
 
-``POST /switchover`` or ``POST /failover``. These endpoints are very similar to each other. There are a couple of minor differences though:
+.. _switchover_api:
 
-1. The failover endpoint allows to perform a manual failover when there are no healthy nodes, but at the same time it will not allow you to schedule a switchover.
+Switchover
+^^^^^^^^^^
 
-2. The switchover endpoint is the opposite. It works only when the cluster is healthy (there is a leader) and allows to schedule a switchover at a given time.
+``/switchover`` endpoint only works when the cluster is healthy (there is a leader). It also allows to schedule a switchover at a given time.
 
+When calling ``/switchover`` endpoint a candidate can be specified but is not required, in contrast to ``/failover`` endpoint. If a candidate is not provided, all the eligible nodes of the cluster will participate in the leader race after the leader stepped down.
 
-In the JSON body of the ``POST`` request you must specify at least the ``leader`` or ``candidate`` fields and optionally the ``scheduled_at`` field if you want to schedule a switchover at a specific time.
+In the JSON body of the ``POST`` request you must specify the ``leader`` field. The ``candidate`` and the ``scheduled_at`` fields are optional and can be used to schedule a switchover at a specific time.
 
+Depending on the situation, requests might return different HTTP status codes and bodies. Status code **200** is returned when the switchover or failover successfully completed. If the switchover was successfully scheduled, Patroni will return HTTP status code **202**. In case something went wrong, the error status code (one of **400**, **412**, or **503**) will be returned with some details in the response body.
 
-Example: perform a failover to the specific node:
+``DELETE /switchover`` can be used to delete the currently scheduled switchover.
+
+**Example:** perform a switchover to any healthy standby
 
 .. code-block:: bash
 
-    $ curl -s http://localhost:8009/failover -XPOST -d '{"candidate":"postgresql1"}'
-    Successfully failed over to "postgresql1"
+	$ curl -s http://localhost:8008/switchover -XPOST -d '{"leader":"postgresql1"}'
+	Successfully switched over to "postgresql2"
 
 
-Example: schedule a switchover from the leader to any other healthy replica in the cluster at a specific time:
+**Example:** perform a switchover to a specific node
 
 .. code-block:: bash
 
-    $ curl -s http://localhost:8008/switchover -XPOST -d \

-Depending on the situation the request might finish with a different HTTP status code and body. The status code **200** is returned when the switchover or failover successfully completed. If the switchover was successfully scheduled, Patroni will return HTTP status code **202**. In case something went wrong, the error status code (one of **400**, **412** or **503**) will be returned with some details in the response body. For more information please check the source code of ``patroni/api.py:do_POST_failover()`` method.
+**Example:** schedule a switchover from the leader to any other healthy standby in the cluster at a specific time.
 
-- ``DELETE /switchover``: delete the scheduled switchover
+.. code-block:: bash
 
-The ``POST /switchover`` and ``POST failover`` endpoints are used by ``patronictl switchover`` and ``patronictl failover``, respectively.

+	Switchover scheduled
+
+
+Failover
+^^^^^^^^
+
+``/failover`` endpoint can be used to perform a manual failover when there are no healthy nodes (e.g. to an asynchronous standby if all synchronous standbys are not healthy enough to promote). However there is no requirement for a cluster not to have leader - failover can also be run on a healthy cluster.
+
+In the JSON body of the ``POST`` request you must specify the ``candidate`` field. If the ``leader`` field is specified, a switchover is triggered instead.
+
+**Example:**
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+	$ curl -s http://localhost:8008/failover -XPOST -d '{"candidate":"postgresql1"}'
+	Successfully failed over to "postgresql1"
+
+.. warning::
+	:ref:`Be very careful <failover_healthcheck>` when using this endpoint, as this can cause data loss in certain situations. In most cases, :ref:`the switchover endpoint <switchover_api>` satisfies the administrator's needs.

 To guarantee correct behavior under these conditions Patroni supports watchdog devices. Watchdog devices are software or hardware mechanisms that will reset the whole system when they do not get a keepalive heartbeat within a specified timeframe. This adds an additional layer of fail safe in case usual Patroni split-brain protection mechanisms fail.
 
-Patroni will try to activate the watchdog before promoting PostgreSQL to master. If watchdog activation fails and watchdog mode is ``required`` then the node will refuse to become master. When deciding to participate in leader election Patroni will also check that watchdog configuration will allow it to become leader at all.

After demoting PostgreSQL (for example due to a manual failover) Patroni will disable the watchdog again. Watchdog will also be disabled while Patroni is in paused state.
 
 By default Patroni will set up the watchdog to expire 5 seconds before TTL expires. With the default setup of ``loop_wait=10`` and ``ttl=30`` this gives HA loop at least 15 seconds (``ttl`` - ``safety_margin`` - ``loop_wait``) to complete before the system gets forcefully reset. By default accessing DCS is configured to time out after 10 seconds. This means that when DCS is unavailable, for example due to network issues, Patroni and PostgreSQL will have at least 5 seconds (``ttl`` - ``safety_margin`` - ``loop_wait`` - ``retry_timeout``) to come to a state where all client connections are terminated.

+-  **proxy**: proxy url for the etcd. If you are connecting to the etcd using proxy, use this parameter instead of **url**.
+-  **srv**: Domain to search the SRV record(s) for cluster autodiscovery. Patroni will try to query these SRV service names for specified domain (in that order until first success): ``_etcd-client-ssl``, ``_etcd-client``, ``_etcd-ssl``, ``_etcd``, ``_etcd-server-ssl``, ``_etcd-server``. If SRV records for ``_etcd-server-ssl`` or ``_etcd-server`` are retrieved then ETCD peer protocol is used do query ETCD for available members. Otherwise hosts from SRV records will be used.

+-  **port**: Exhibitor port.
+
+.. _kubernetes_settings:
+
+Kubernetes
+----------
+-  **bypass\_api\_service**: (optional) When communicating with the Kubernetes API, Patroni is usually relying on the `kubernetes` service, the address of which is exposed in the pods via the `KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST` environment variable. If `bypass_api_service` is set to ``true``, Patroni will resolve the list of API nodes behind the service and connect directly to them.
+-  **namespace**: (optional) Kubernetes namespace where Patroni pod is running. Default value is `default`.
+-  **labels**: Labels in format ``{label1: value1, label2: value2}``. These labels will be used to find existing objects (Pods and either Endpoints or ConfigMaps) associated with the current cluster. Also Patroni will set them on every object (Endpoint or ConfigMap) it creates.
+-  **scope\_label**: (optional) name of the label containing cluster name. Default value is `cluster-name`.

+-  **tmp_\role\_label**: (optional) name of the temporary label containing role (master or replica). Value of this label will always use the default of corresponding role. Set only when necessary.
+-  **use\_endpoints**: (optional) if set to true, Patroni will use Endpoints instead of ConfigMaps to run leader elections and keep cluster state.
+-  **pod\_ip**: (optional) IP address of the pod Patroni is running in. This value is required when `use_endpoints` is enabled and is used to populate the leader endpoint subsets when the pod's PostgreSQL is promoted.
+-  **ports**: (optional) if the Service object has the name for the port, the same name must appear in the Endpoint object, otherwise service won't work. For example, if your service is defined as ``{Kind: Service, spec: {ports: [{name: postgresql, port: 5432, targetPort: 5432}]}}``, then you have to set ``kubernetes.ports: [{"name": "postgresql", "port": 5432}]`` and Patroni will use it for updating subsets of the leader Endpoint. This parameter is used only if `kubernetes.use_endpoints` is set.
+-  **cacert**: (optional) Specifies the file with the CA_BUNDLE file with certificates of trusted CAs to use while verifying Kubernetes API SSL certs. If not provided, patroni will use the value provided by the ServiceAccount secret.
+-  **retriable\_http\_codes**: (optional) list of HTTP status codes from K8s API to retry on. By default Patroni is retrying on ``500``, ``503``, and ``504``, or if K8s API response has ``retry-after`` HTTP header.

+
+     A: ``syncobj_admin -conn host:port -remove host2:port2`` where the ``host2:port2`` is the address of the node you want to remove from consensus.
+
+   - Q: Where to get the ``syncobj_admin`` utility?
+
+     A: It is installed together with ``pysyncobj`` module (python RAFT implementation), which is Patroni dependency.

+
+   - Q: It is possible to run Patroni and PostgreSQL only on two nodes?
+
+     A: Yes, on the third node you can run ``patroni_raft_controller`` (without Patroni and PostgreSQL). In such a setup, one can temporarily lose one node without affecting the primary.

+
+   -  **callbacks**: callback scripts to run on certain actions. Patroni will pass the action, role and cluster name. (See scripts/aws.py as an example of how to write them.)
+
+      -  **on\_reload**: run this script when configuration reload is triggered.
+      -  **on\_restart**: run this script when the postgres restarts (without changing role).
+      -  **on\_role\_change**: run this script when the postgres is being promoted or demoted.
+      -  **on\_start**: run this script when the postgres starts.
+      -  **on\_stop**: run this script when the postgres stops.
+   -  **connect\_address**: IP address + port through which Postgres is accessible from other nodes and applications.
+   -  **proxy\_address**: IP address + port through which a connection pool (e.g. pgbouncer) running next to Postgres is accessible. The value is written to the member key in DCS as ``proxy_url`` and could be used/useful for service discovery.
+   -  **create\_replica\_methods**: an ordered list of the create methods for turning a Patroni node into a new replica.
+      "basebackup" is the default method; other methods are assumed to refer to scripts, each of which is configured as its
+      own config item. See :ref:`custom replica creation methods documentation <custom_replica_creation>` for further explanation.
+   -  **data\_dir**: The location of the Postgres data directory, either :ref:`existing <existing_data>` or to be initialized by Patroni.
+   -  **config\_dir**: The location of the Postgres configuration directory, defaults to the data directory. Must be writable by Patroni.
+   -  **bin\_dir**: (optional) Path to PostgreSQL binaries (pg_ctl, initdb, pg_controldata, pg_basebackup, postgres, pg_isready, pg_rewind). If not provided or is an empty string, PATH environment variable will be used to find the executables.
+   -  **bin\_name**: (optional) Make it possible to override Postgres binary names, if you are using a custom Postgres distribution:
+
+      - **pg\_ctl**: (optional) Custom name for ``pg_ctl`` binary.
+      - **initdb**: (optional) Custom name for ``initdb`` binary.
+      - **pg\controldata**: (optional) Custom name for ``pg_controldata`` binary.
+      - **pg\_basebackup**: (optional) Custom name for ``pg_basebackup`` binary.
+      - **postgres**: (optional) Custom name for ``postgres`` binary.
+      - **pg\_isready**: (optional) Custom name for ``pg_isready`` binary.
+      - **pg\_rewind**: (optional) Custom name for ``pg_rewind`` binary.
+   -  **listen**: IP address + port that Postgres listens to; must be accessible from other nodes in the cluster, if you're using streaming replication. Multiple comma-separated addresses are permitted, as long as the port component is appended after to the last one with a colon, i.e. ``listen: 127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2:5432``. Patroni will use the first address from this list to establish local connections to the PostgreSQL node.
+   -  **use\_unix\_socket**: specifies that Patroni should prefer to use unix sockets to connect to the cluster. Default value is ``false``. If ``unix_socket_directories`` is defined, Patroni will use the first suitable value from it to connect to the cluster and fallback to tcp if nothing is suitable. If ``unix_socket_directories`` is not specified in ``postgresql.parameters``, Patroni will assume that the default value should be used and omit ``host`` from the connection parameters.
+   -  **use\_unix\_socket\_repl**: specifies that Patroni should prefer to use unix sockets for replication user cluster connection. Default value is ``false``. If ``unix_socket_directories`` is defined, Patroni will use the first suitable value from it to connect to the cluster and fallback to tcp if nothing is suitable. If ``unix_socket_directories`` is not specified in ``postgresql.parameters``, Patroni will assume that the default value should be used and omit ``host`` from the connection parameters.
+   -  **pgpass**: path to the `.pgpass <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq-pgpass.html>`__ password file. Patroni creates this file before executing pg\_basebackup, the post_init script and under some other circumstances. The location must be writable by Patroni.
+   -  **recovery\_conf**: additional configuration settings written to recovery.conf when configuring follower.
+   -  **custom\_conf** : path to an optional custom ``postgresql.conf`` file, that will be used in place of ``postgresql.base.conf``. The file must exist on all cluster nodes, be readable by PostgreSQL and will be included from its location on the real ``postgresql.conf``. Note that Patroni will not monitor this file for changes, nor backup it. However, its settings can still be overridden by Patroni's own configuration facilities - see :ref:`dynamic configuration <patroni_configuration>` for details.
+   -  **parameters**: list of configuration settings for Postgres. Many of these are required for replication to work.
+   -  **pg\_hba**: list of lines that Patroni will use to generate ``pg_hba.conf``. Patroni ignores this parameter if ``hba_file`` PostgreSQL parameter is set to a non-default value. Together with :ref:`dynamic configuration <dynamic_configuration>` this parameter simplifies management of ``pg_hba.conf``.
+
+      -  **- host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5**
+      -  **- host replication replicator 127.0.0.1/32 md5**: A line like this is required for replication.
+   -  **pg\_ident**: list of lines that Patroni will use to generate ``pg_ident.conf``. Patroni ignores this parameter if ``ident_file`` PostgreSQL parameter is set to a non-default value. Together with :ref:`dynamic configuration <dynamic_configuration>` this parameter simplifies management of ``pg_ident.conf``.
+
+      -  **- mapname1 systemname1 pguser1**
+      -  **- mapname1 systemname2 pguser2**
+   -  **pg\_ctl\_timeout**: How long should pg_ctl wait when doing ``start``, ``stop`` or ``restart``. Default value is 60 seconds.
+   -  **use\_pg\_rewind**: try to use pg\_rewind on the former leader when it joins cluster as a replica.
+   -  **remove\_data\_directory\_on\_rewind\_failure**: If this option is enabled, Patroni will remove the PostgreSQL data directory and recreate the replica. Otherwise it will try to follow the new leader. Default value is **false**.
+   -  **remove\_data\_directory\_on\_diverged\_timelines**: Patroni will remove the PostgreSQL data directory and recreate the replica if it notices that timelines are diverging and the former primary can not start streaming from the new primary. This option is useful when ``pg_rewind`` can not be used. While performing timelines divergence check on PostgreSQL v10 and older Patroni will try to connect with replication credential to the "postgres" database. Hence, such access should be allowed in the pg_hba.conf. Default value is **false**.
+   -  **replica\_method**: for each create_replica_methods other than basebackup, you would add a configuration section of the same name. At a minimum, this should include "command" with a full path to the actual script to be executed. Other configuration parameters will be passed along to the script in the form "parameter=value".
+   -  **pre\_promote**: a fencing script that executes during a failover after acquiring the leader lock but before promoting the replica. If the script exits with a non-zero code, Patroni does not promote the replica and removes the leader key from DCS.
+   -  **before\_stop**: a script that executes immediately prior to stopping postgres. As opposed to a callback, this script runs synchronously, blocking shutdown until it has completed. The return code of this script does not impact whether shutdown proceeds afterwards.
+
+.. _restapi_settings:
+
+REST API
+--------
+-  **restapi**:
+
+   -  **connect\_address**: IP address (or hostname) and port, to access the Patroni's :ref:`REST API <rest_api>`. All the members of the cluster must be able to connect to this address, so unless the Patroni setup is intended for a demo inside the localhost, this address must be a non "localhost" or loopback address (ie: "localhost" or "127.0.0.1"). It can serve as an endpoint for HTTP health checks (read below about the "listen" REST API parameter), and also for user queries (either directly or via the REST API), as well as for the health checks done by the cluster members during leader elections (for example, to determine whether the leader is still running, or if there is a node which has a WAL position that is ahead of the one doing the query; etc.) The connect_address is put in the member key in DCS, making it possible to translate the member name into the address to connect to its REST API.
+   -  **listen**: IP address (or hostname) and port that Patroni will listen to for the REST API - to provide also the same health checks and cluster messaging between the participating nodes, as described above. to provide health-check information for HAProxy (or any other load balancer capable of doing a HTTP "OPTION" or "GET" checks).
+   -  **authentication**: (optional)
+
+      -  **username**: Basic-auth username to protect unsafe REST API endpoints.
+      -  **password**: Basic-auth password to protect unsafe REST API endpoints.
+   -  **certfile**: (optional): Specifies the file with the certificate in the PEM format. If the certfile is not specified or is left empty, the API server will work without SSL.
+   -  **keyfile**: (optional): Specifies the file with the secret key in the PEM format.
+   -  **keyfile\_password**: (optional): Specifies a password for decrypting the keyfile.
+   -  **cafile**: (optional): Specifies the file with the CA_BUNDLE with certificates of trusted CAs to use while verifying client certs.
+   -  **ciphers**: (optional): Specifies the permitted cipher suites (e.g. "ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:!SSLv1:!SSLv2:!SSLv3:!TLSv1:!TLSv1.1")
+   -  **verify\_client**: (optional): ``none`` (default), ``optional`` or ``required``. When ``none`` REST API will not check client certificates. When ``required`` client certificates are required for all REST API calls. When ``optional`` client certificates are required for all unsafe REST API endpoints. When ``required`` is used, then client authentication succeeds, if the certificate signature verification succeeds.  For ``optional`` the client cert will only be checked for ``PUT``, ``POST``, ``PATCH``, and ``DELETE`` requests.
+   -  **allowlist**: (optional): Specifies the set of hosts that are allowed to call unsafe REST API endpoints. The single element could be a host name, an IP address or a network address using CIDR notation. By default ``allow all`` is used. In case if ``allowlist`` or ``allowlist_include_members`` are set, anything that is not included is rejected.
+   -  **allowlist\_include\_members**: (optional): If set to ``true`` it allows accessing unsafe REST API endpoints from other cluster members registered in DCS (IP address or hostname is taken from the members ``api_url``). Be careful, it might happen that OS will use a different IP for outgoing connections.
+   -  **http\_extra\_headers**: (optional): HTTP headers let the REST API server pass additional information with an HTTP response.
+   -  **https\_extra\_headers**: (optional): HTTPS headers let the REST API server pass additional information with an HTTP response when TLS is enabled. This will also pass additional information set in ``http_extra_headers``.
+   -  **request_queue_size**: (optional): Sets request queue size for TCP socket used by Patroni REST API.  Once the queue is full, further requests get a "Connection denied" error. The default value is 5.
+
+Here is an example of both **http_extra_headers** and **https_extra_headers**:
+
+.. code:: YAML
+
+        restapi:
+          listen: <listen>
+          connect_address: <connect_address>
+          authentication:
+            username: <username>
+            password: <password>
+          http_extra_headers:
+            'X-Frame-Options': 'SAMEORIGIN'
+            'X-XSS-Protection': '1; mode=block'
+            'X-Content-Type-Options': 'nosniff'
+          cafile: <ca file>
+          certfile: <cert>
+          keyfile: <key>
+          https_extra_headers:
+            'Strict-Transport-Security': 'max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains'
+
+.. warning::
+
+    - The ``restapi.connect_address`` must be accessible from all nodes of a given Patroni cluster. Internally Patroni is using it during the leader race to find nodes with minimal replication lag.
+    - If you enabled client certificates validation (``restapi.verify_client`` is set to ``required``), you also **must** provide **valid client certificates** in the ``ctl.certfile``, ``ctl.keyfile``, ``ctl.keyfile_password``. If not provided, Patroni will not work correctly.
+
+
+.. _patronictl_settings:
+
+CTL
+---
+-  **ctl**: (optional)
+
+   -  **authentication**:
+
+      -  **username**: Basic-auth username for accessing protected REST API endpoints. If not provided patronictl will use the value provided for REST API "username" parameter.
+      -  **password**: Basic-auth password for accessing protected REST API endpoints. If not provided patronictl will use the value provided for REST API "password" parameter.
+   -  **insecure**: Allow connections to REST API without verifying SSL certs.
+   -  **cacert**: Specifies the file with the CA_BUNDLE file or directory with certificates of trusted CAs to use while verifying REST API SSL certs. If not provided patronictl will use the value provided for REST API "cafile" parameter.
+   -  **certfile**: Specifies the file with the client certificate in the PEM format.
+   -  **keyfile**: Specifies the file with the client secret key in the PEM format.
+   -  **keyfile\_password**: Specifies a password for decrypting the client keyfile.
+
+Watchdog
+--------
+-  **mode**: ``off``, ``automatic`` or ``required``. When ``off`` watchdog is disabled. When ``automatic`` watchdog will be used if available, but ignored if it is not. When ``required`` the node will not become a leader unless watchdog can be successfully enabled.
+-  **device**: Path to watchdog device. Defaults to ``/dev/watchdog``.
+-  **safety_margin**: Number of seconds of safety margin between watchdog triggering and leader key expiration.
+
+.. _tags_settings:
+
+Tags
+----
+-  **nofailover**: ``true`` or ``false``, controls whether this node is allowed to participate in the leader race and become a leader. Defaults to ``false``
+-  **clonefrom**: ``true`` or ``false``. If set to ``true`` other nodes might prefer to use this node for bootstrap (take ``pg_basebackup`` from). If there are several nodes with ``clonefrom`` tag set to ``true`` the node to bootstrap from will be chosen randomly. The default value is ``false``.
+-  **noloadbalance**: ``true`` or ``false``. If set to ``true`` the node will return HTTP Status Code 503 for the ``GET /replica`` REST API health-check and therefore will be excluded from the load-balancing. Defaults to ``false``.
+-  **replicatefrom**: The IP address/hostname of another replica. Used to support cascading replication.
+-  **nosync**: ``true`` or ``false``. If set to ``true`` the node will never be selected as a synchronous replica.
+
+In addition to these predefined tags, you can also add your own ones:
+
+-  **key1**: ``true``
+-  **key2**: ``false``
+-  **key3**: ``1.4``
+-  **key4**: ``"RandomString"``
+
+Tags are visible in the :ref:`REST API <rest_api>` and ``patronictl list`` You can also check for an instance health using these tags. If the tag isn't defined for an instance, or if the respective value doesn't match the querying value, it will return HTTP Status Code 503.
