I found a document in version 10 to promote salve to master with pg_ctl and create recovery.conf. Recovery.conf is not existed in version 12 but in version 1. 1) The parameters that used to be set in recovery.conf are instead set in postgresql.conf in 12 & above. 2) They are set on your replica; otherwise it would not come up as a replica. They are not needed in a master.
