Description

The barman-cloud-wal-restore script functions as the restore_command for retrieving WAL files from cloud storage and placing them directly into a Postgres standby server, bypassing the Barman server.

This script is used to download WAL files that were previously archived with the barman-cloud-wal-archive command. Disable automatic download of .partial files by calling --no-partial option.

IMPORTANT:

On the target Postgres node, when pg_wal and the spool directory are on the same filesystem, files are moved via renaming, which is faster than copying and deleting. This speeds up serving WAL files significantly. If the directories are on different filesystems, the process still involves copying and deleting, so there's no performance gain in that case.

NOTE:

For GCP, only authentication with GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS env is supported.

Parameters

SERVER_NAME: Name of the server that will have WALs restored.
SOURCE_URL: URL of the cloud source, such as a bucket in AWS S3. For example: s3://bucket/path/to/folder.
WAL_NAME: The value of the '%f' keyword (according to restore_command).
WAL_DEST: The value of the '%p' keyword (according to restore_command).
-V / --version: Show version and exit.
--help: show this help message and exit.
-v / --verbose: Increase output verbosity (e.g., -vv is more than -v).
-q / --quiet: Decrease output verbosity (e.g., -qq is less than -q).
-t / --test: Test cloud connectivity and exit.
--cloud-provider: The cloud provider to use as a storage backend.
Allowed options are:

aws-s3.
azure-blob-storage.
google-cloud-storage.

--no-partial: Do not download partial WAL files

Extra options for the AWS cloud provider

--endpoint-url: Override default S3 endpoint URL with the given one.
-P / --aws-profile: Profile name (e.g. INI section in AWS credentials file).
--profile (deprecated): Profile name (e.g. INI section in AWS credentials file) - replaced by --aws-profile.
--read-timeout: The time in seconds until a timeout is raised when waiting to read from a connection (defaults to 60 seconds).

Extra options for the Azure cloud provider

--azure-credential / --credential: Optionally specify the type of credential to use when authenticating with Azure. If omitted then Azure Blob Storage credentials will be obtained from the environment and the default Azure authentication flow will be used for authenticating with all other Azure services. If no credentials can be found in the environment then the default Azure authentication flow will also be used for Azure Blob Storage.
Allowed options are:

azure-cli.
managed-identity.
default.
