Hi, I need to migrate a postgresql database from a k8s environment to an on-premise server. Can i do this by exporting .sql file from k8s and running this .sql file on the on-premise server ?

I think it's the same scenario, you can use the script above.

I'm facing authentication failed using RESTORE

@sudonewdev try this
kubectl exec -i [pod-name] -- psql -U [postgres-user] -d [database-name] -f database.sql
or install psql client with :

sudo apt install postgresql-client-common
sudo apt-get install -y postgresql-client

then :
psql -U [postgres-user] -p [database-port] -h [postgres-ip] -d [database-name] -f database.sql
