Hello, I do not understand why CREATE SUBSCRIPTION does not pick up .pgpass (when psql does): root@pg.newtest:/# psql 'host=pg.oldtest port=5432 user=pg_replication dbname=oldtest' oldtest=# \q root@pg.newtest:/# psql newtest postgres newtest=# CREATE SUBSCRIPTION sub_pgupgrade CONNECTION 'host=pg.oldtest port=5432 user=pg_replication dbname=oldtest' PUBLICATION pub_pgupgrade; ERROR: could not connect to the publisher: connection to server at "pg.oldtest" (x.x.x.x), port 5432 failed: fe_sendauth: no password supplied newtest=# oldtest is 11.15 (Debian 11.15-1.pgdg90+1) newtest is 14.5 (Debian 14.5-1.pgdg110+1) .pgpass is under /root (home inside the docker container) with 0600 permissions and owned by user "postgres". Even providing passfile=/root/.pgpass in the connstring does not work. .pgpass contains: *:*:*:pg_replication:password Any thoughts on how to debug much appreciated.
