Hi, I accidentally moved '/' to another folder, which broke Proxmox. I managed to fix it by moving everything back using a Debian Live USB, but now I can't access the WebUI, and the VMs are not booting (even though they should, as boot on startup is enabled). I can only access the system by attaching a monitor and keyboard or via SSH. How can I fix this? There is nothing important on the server, so reinstalling it is an option, but my home internet is currently down. Additionally, I was nearly finished configuring the VMs and would prefer not to start over.

Is there any way to fix this?

That may be the best and easiest solution.

Then copy off the vm disks and proxmox ve database in /var/lib/pve-cluster/config.db
