try on your machine

This command is using the tool "stolonctl" to update a Stolon PostgreSQL cluster with specific configuration parameters. Let's break it down:

  • "stolonctl": This is a command-line utility used to manage and control Stolon clusters. It provides various commands to operate on Stolon clusters.

  • "--cluster-name ${cluster_name}": Specifies the name of the Stolon cluster to be updated. The value of the "cluster_name" variable is passed here.

  • "--store-backend ${store_backend}": Specifies the type of backend used for storing cluster configuration. The value of the "store_backend" variable is passed here.

  • "--store-endpoints ${store_endpoints}": Specifies the endpoints (IP addresses or hostnames) where the cluster configuration data is stored. The value of the "store_endpoints" variable is passed here.

  • "update": Specifies the update command to be executed.

  • "--patch '${cluster_spec}'": Specifies the changes that should be made to the cluster configuration. The value of the "cluster_spec" variable is passed here as a patch, which typically contains a JSON or YAML representation of the updated configuration.

In summary, this command updates a Stolon PostgreSQL cluster by applying the changes defined in the "cluster_spec" variable to the cluster specified by "cluster_name". The cluster configuration is stored using the specified backend and accessible through the provided store endpoints.
