i edited the /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts files and everything crashed after a reboot. I don't remember what these files looked like in the original. I wanted to make a copy of the machines, reinstall proxmox, but since all the pve services went down, I can't even execute the qm list (
Can you please tell me what to do?

p.s. everything was raised on virtual machines, nothing was raised on proxmox itself
 
try
journalctl
and sroll down, after time column is hostname, check how was it older name.

my simple hostname and hosts
