Hey all!
I had a perfectly working PVE7 not so long ago. Today I went to ssh into my LXC container managed by Portainer to edit some conifig file (for Frigate NVR) only to see that I cannot ssh into it.
I have tried FileZilla and PuttY and get "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server". From the lxc console inside proxmox I cannot proceed past the username (root):

What I have checked so far is
I'm not sure what to do or where to start to fix the problem. Already spent few hours searching around. I do have moderate knowledge in Linux, but this is me experimenting with Proxmox so the user input error could be something vague.
Only thing that comes to mind is that I have upgraded storage on my machine. I have added one SSD inside and an USB SSD.
For adding storage I have followed these (I basically used binding mount points):

to access):
