Description

Hi
I was trying to look for documentation about replication between pulp instances. The only info I was able to find is the API documentation and the plugin configuration:

https://pulpproject.org/pulpcore/restapi/#tag/Upstream-Pulps
https://pulpproject.org/pulpcore/docs/dev/learn/subclassing/replication/?h=replica

But it only describes the different endpoints and how to enable replication on the different plugins.

I was able to create a basic replica using this but I just found some issues and I don't know how to progress due to the lack
of knowledge.
Also it would be great if the different plugins configuration have some kind of documentation about specific parameters needed
for this task if they exist.

Sorry if there is a lack of information here, first time to report an issue nad the info here is not very specific about the schema to follow.

Let me know if anything else is needed.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Upstream-Pulps API documentation and the subclassing replication page, then map what is missing for replication between Pulp instances. Document the end-to-end setup, relevant plugin-specific parameters, and guidance for investigating the reported issues; completion means users can configure and troubleshoot a basic replica from the documentation.
