BARMAN-SYNC-WALS(1)

💖 BARMAN-SYNC-WALS 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for barman-sync-wals, one of the Barman Sub-Commands, and honestly? it's giving "quietly iconic utility" 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sync-wals
    [ { -h | --help } ]
    SERVER_NAME

that's it, that's the whole vibe check. one command, a couple of optional bits, and a server name. slay. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea 🍓 — this command synchronizes a passive node with its primary by copying all archived WAL files from the server node. all of them. every last one. no crumbs left behind.

but wait, there's a catch (there's always a catch, bestie 😭): it's available only for passive nodes. so if you're not a passive node, this is not your moment. main character energy denied, sorry. 🙈

and how does it do the secure thing? it utilizes the primary_ssh_command option to establish a secure connection with the primary node. yes, that's the whole magic trick. ✨

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• SERVER_NAME — the name of the server in barman node. that's the one you're pointing at. no name, no sync, periodt. 👑
• -h / --help — show a help message and exit. it hands you the info about how to use the command, like a little friendly tap on the shoulder. 🫶
