synapse_port_db - A script to port an existing synapse SQLite database to a new PostgreSQL database.

       The postgres configuration file must be a valid YAML file with the following options.

       •   database:  Database  configuration  section. This section header can be ignored and the options below
           may be specified as top level keys.

       •   name: Connector to use when connecting to the database. This value must be psycopg2.

       •   args: DB API 2.0 compatible arguments to send to the psycopg2 module.

       •   dbname - the database name

       •   user - user name used to authenticate

       •   password - password used to authenticate

       •   host - database host address (defaults to UNIX socket if not provided)

       •   port - connection port number (defaults to 5432 if not provided)

       •   synchronous_commit: Optional. Default is True. If the value is False, enable asynchronous commit  and
           don´t    wait    for   the   server   to   call   fsync   before   ending   the   transaction.   See:
           https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/wal-async-commit.html

       Following example illustrates the configuration file format.

           database:
             name: psycopg2
             args:
               dbname: synapsedb
               user: synapseuser
               password: ORohmi9Eet=ohphi
               host: localhost
             synchronous_commit: false
