Hi there.
So I f*ckep up my cluster by deleting the whole nodes directory insteand of a node04 subdir. I know It's recommended to have backups, it i son my plan but I already have staging VMs that I cant just delete and reinstall everything.But I could pick the /var/lib/pve-cluster/config.db file on my laptop and can open it with a sqlite explorer.My cluster is still up but the VM are invisible.
My question is: how can I restore my configuration with what I have? Can I restore from VM disks and the config,db file?

Please help !!
