It complains about: > > connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"? which means given the above configuration it has to be primary_replica_local_dsn. Could you a) try to explicitly set unix_socket_directory=/tmp in postgresql.conf and host=/tmp in the above config? Also, please attach postgresql.conf.
