[SOLVED] Broken configuration

[uqlel]

Hello,
After changing domain, lost all files in /etc/pve. I tried to purge proxmox, apt autoremove, install, but still nothing.
Now when removing or installing, this happens:

root@proxmox:~# apt remove proxmox-ve

Package 'proxmox-ve' is not installed, so not removed

That's the meta-package, it has a dependency on other Proxmox VE packages. To get Proxmox VE running, you will need to re-install the package and fix the apt errors along the way.

After changing domain, lost all files in /etc/pve.

AFAIK, the domain is not a dependency for a running PVE.

I fixed it by purging pve-manager, purging proxmox-ve and purging all proxmox packages, after this i installed proxmox, created folder nodes in /etc/pve, and rebuilded ssl certificate by pvecm updatecerts --force, and now its working. It was broken because pve-cluster was stopped and it can't load without configuration from /etc/pve

t was broken because pve-cluster was stopped and it can't load without configuration from /etc/pve

As a side note, the pve-cluster service provides the mounted /etc/pve directory.
