 # Rebuilding the kluster
 
-When rebuilding the kluster from scratch, the CNPG containers 
+When rebuilding the kluster from scratch, the CNPG containers will be considered as new and will be set up according to their `initdb` config.
+
+Since most of the clusters here are formally defined as a fresh clusters, the following will happen:
+- in the relevant PVC the `pgdata` folder will be renamed to `pgdata-old`
+- a fresh `pgdata` folder will be created
+- a database with RBAC as defined in the `initdb` config will be created
+
+This is problematic since the PVC content is the actual state of the database in the present setup. In order to get back to a functional state, some manual intervention is therefore required.
+
+1. Bootstrap the kubernetes cluster
+2. Wait for the CNPG containers to be up and running - they will be setup fresh at this point
+3. follow the procedure from [https://cloudnative-pg.io/documentation/1.20/declarative_hibernation/](https://cloudnative-pg.io/documentation/1.20/declarative_hibernation/):
+    - hibernate the postgresql cluster
+    - wait for the pod to be shut down
+    - copy the `pgdata-old` content to the `pgdata` folder
+    - de-hibernate the postgresql cluster
+4. The database should now be in a functional state
