+How to rename a chroot
+================================
+
+In the openEuler copr instance, we unfortunately need to rename a chroot.
+
+The operations need to be done can be described as:
+
+* [backend]: symlinks all the old chroot dir in resultdir to the new one
+* [frontend]: change the os_release/os_version in frontend table mock_chroot
+* [builder]: add new mock chroot configs to all builder
+
+.. note::
+
+    After these operations are complete, a new chroot will be displayed at all frontend pages, and all the old repo config files should be still usable.
+
+To be more precisely, here are some operation details:
+
+*Suppose you have a chroot named* ``foo-bar-x86_64`` *and want to rename it to* ``new-foo_bar-x86_64``
+
+For backend
+--------------
+Login as copr user to backend node, and run:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ /usr/bin/copr-rename-chroot --real-run  --pair foo-bar-x86_64:new-foo_bar-x86_64
+
+Explain: the ``/usr/bin/copr-rename-chroot`` script will rename the dir in ``destdir`` from ``foo-bar-x86_64`` to ``new-foo_bar-x86_64``
+
+.. warning::
+
+    You may note the ``--real-run`` arguement, without it the script will perform a dry-run and just print the operations out.
+
+    Run the command without ``real-run`` until you make sure all the operations are expected!
+
+For frontend
+--------------
+Login to the frontend database and run:
+
+.. code-block:: sql
+
+    coprdb# UPDATE mock_chroot SET os_version='foo_bar', os_release='new' WHERE os_version='foo' AND os_release='bar' AND arch='x86_64'
+
+Explain: the SQL will rename the old chroot which name is ``foo-bar-x86_64`` to ``new-foo_bar-x86_64`` in database, this operation will make webUI&copr-cli see the new chroot.
+
+For builder
+--------------
+Update your mock package to ensure the ``new-foo_bar-x86_64.cfg`` existed!
