For creating a streaming replication slave from scratch, check out the
`pg_basebackup` tool. Exercised right, it will even create a suitable
recovery.conf for running a slave instance from the backup it creates. You
should also check out Zalando's patroni[0], which is a popular solution for
providing automatic failover capabilities for postgres master/slave-pairs.


Postgres doesn't support multi-master replication; if you're interested in
exploring this anyway, take a look at the BDR project[1].
