In PostgreSQL 12 and later we need to append replication configuration to "postgresql.auto.conf" to guarantee it will be read last, and hence override any preceding replication configuration which may be haunting the configuration files. We've been assuming that "postgresql.auto.conf" will always be present, but at least one corner case has been observed where that was not the case on the node being cloned from. Moreover it's perfectly acceptable that this file does not exist (it will be recreated the next time ALTER SYSTEM is executed), so we should be prepared to handle that case. In passing, improve handling of more unlikely errors which might be encountered when processing "postgresql.auto.conf".
repmgr: Replication Manager for PostgreSQL
repmgr is a suite of open-source tools to manage replication and failover
within a cluster of PostgreSQL servers. It enhances PostgreSQL's built-in
replication capabilities with utilities to set up standby servers, monitor
replication, and perform administrative tasks such as failover or switchover
operations.
The most recent repmgr version (5.2.0) supports all PostgreSQL versions from
9.5 to 13. PostgreSQL 9.4 is also supported, with some restrictions.
repmgr is distributed under the GNU GPL 3 and maintained by 2ndQuadrant.
Documentation

The old README file for repmgr 3.x is available here:

Note that the repmgr 3.x series is no longer supported and contains known bugs;
please upgrade to the current repmgr version
as soon as possible.
