It is not clear from documentation when and how I should restore base backup
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/continuous-archiving.html
Description:
Hello.
On page:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/continuous-archiving.html#BACKUP-PITR-RECOVERY
Is is not clear should I do additional actions to restore basebackup first
and then WAL files (as described at p6)
This paragraph even more confusing:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/continuous-archiving.html#BACKUP-STANDALONE
... and no special action is required to restore the backup.
Should I configure restore_command at least?
Thank you.

You mean step 4?

It is standalone, everything needed and possible exists in the backup file
pg_basebackup created.
