Blocked myself from access to Proxmox (fool enabling firewall). Restarted server in safe/rescue mode. Can see (I suppose) filesystem, but /etc/pve/ is completely empty. (hosts is ok - have 2 records - localhost and it's own IP xx.xx.xx.xx <name> proxmox). What am I doing wrong?

I have not had to do that sort of thing for a while, but with the normal linux safe modes they give you a ramdisk OS, so if the root drive needs a repair you can do so, try typing mount and see what is mounted, and then you can probably mount your real proxmox under /mnt and change any files you need. (This is just a best guess based on normal linux Safe mode boots)
/etc/pve is a fuse filesystem mounter by pve-cluster service.
So check that pve-cluster is running.
(you also need corosync service working before pve-cluster)

Thanks for idea - but I have no clue where to start. Where can I read about corosync and what is pve-cluster?
The reference documentation should provide a good start:
* https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pmxcfs.html#_recovery
* https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pvecm.html
else - checking wheter a service runs is done with `systemctl status pve-cluster.service` (for the pve-cluster.service)
I hope this helps!
So i was close, Thanks for giving the full answer,
But then the question is , was this a clustered server, and if not, where are the config files held which i think was the initial question.
Thank you to all. Found much easier answer at https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/disable-firewall-from-command-line.29091/
