You can try this: DCS Failsafe Mode

Consul is DCS for patroni. If consul cluster is completely down, then patroni is unaware of state of cluster.

is expected. Actually this behave protects database from split brain

This is docker based Postgtresql, behavior is different than our normal one for failover and promotion.

How do you expect to have working HA without working networking?
