When I say, "a replica set", I'm speaking of the database. And I agree, cloning 65GB of data that is an api call away does seem wasteful. > > if > > latency and read performance on ullmann is problematic.

I'm not going to say stop, but I'd prefer not to encourage more. Back to the topic at hand: > > > I do see two options: > > > > > > 1.

If you mean you want to put a passwordless ssh key on ullmann and run a command there, I'd rather you didn't. > > postgres has native replication support.

Well, we're obviously not going to replicate the database to a machine we don't run. Never mind, then. Maybe if you ask lucas nicely, he can dump tables one at a time for you so you have what you need? At any rate, the problem of copying data over http from a debian machine to a non-debian machine probably doesn't need DSA to do very much, so I'll leave it here.
