Hi Friends
I would like to have a cronjob creating a dump of a db.
I am on a ubuntu 18 lts, potgres v10.
I have a user robert with superuser db permission.
a database "mydb" of which I would like to to a nightly dump.
I tried to set thing in hba_conf like this:
# Database administrative login by Unix domain socket
local all postgres peer
# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
and I create a /root/.pgpass file with this content
hostname:port:database:username:password
localhost:5432:mydb:robert:
but still I get:
root@elfero:~# pg_dump -U robert -d mydb > dumps/mydb.sql
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "mydb" failed: FATAL: Peer
authentication failed for user "robert"
can you please give me a hand
thanks
robert
