For this recipe, we only care about two servers. The primary PostgreSQL server is pg-primary, and the new standby will be pg-clone. Execute this command as the postgres system user on the pg-clone server:
walctl_clone pg-primary walctl
When the command finishes, we should have a fully operational clone of pg-primary.
