relatively easy to do but I really have no idea how to do the failback
part.

the current way how replication is done in PostgreSQL there is no easy
way to switch between roles, or at least I don't know about a such way.
Implementing just fail-over functionality by creating a trigger file on
a slave server in the case of failure on master side doesn't create a
full master-slave implementation in my opinion.

We have created just such a multi-state RA, which incorporates a design
to manage failover, failback, and fallback (regular backups).  Please
give us a few days - a member of my team is removing any
product-specifics from it, and we'll post it shortly.
