I've been working with RedHat, CentOS and Fedora for about 7 Years now. In my own words, I am a linux pro!!! I've managed cloud platforms in openstack as well

We need to setup postgresql replication for git.fosscommunity.in. Can you try? Go through https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-master-slave-replication-on-postgresql-on-an-ubuntu-12-04-vps

that is doable. let me try. but can I start tomorrow? I'm pretty busy today
Pirate Praveen Tue 18 Oct 2016 2:09PM
sure.

There is a catch though, the backup server we have is arm and main server is x86_64. So replication given in that document can't work. We have to setup daily cron jobs instead.
