I'm sorry for posting again, but I'm still having issues with my installation. Does anyone have any possible solutions?

The server is randomly shutting down VMs and starting them back up. I have no idea why it's doing this. The web interface is still not loading at all.
 
I would suggest, you check all logfiles for issues. Hopefully you didn‘t have deleted any neccessary resources or folders in your var dir.
 
I have an update:
Code:
user@server:~$ sudo systemctl restart pve-cluster
Job for pve-cluster.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status pve-cluster.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

I had 20Gb of free space and now it's full again. Something is sucking up space. If I get a bigger SSD can I expand the partition or something?
 
There is one think which is wondering me, the screenshot shows me an single node configuration, so why are you starting cluster service? Was you intending to build up cluster?
Bigger spce does not solve your problem, it will just give you more time until it will went full..
I guess some misconfiguration is leading to your problem and flood the logfiles. If you solve this problem, you will don‘t have any space issues.
