The files were on a mountpoint, completely separate drive. This has also been the case for all the previous times I ran an update, though I did recently move these files to a different drive mounted the same way. I got some sort of permission wrong maybe?
Will definitely set up a better backup system as soon as I can
Interesting, I think I did actually do that. I guess my best bet for now is to just nuke the LXCs then and move everything to a new VM. Thanks for the advice!
It was just a matter of time then until something broke? Guess I’ll need to do some more research on how to best manage the services I want to run. Good thing I didn’t come into this hobby hoping to reduce the amount of headaches
I seem to be unable to figure out how to select multiple elements. I can use the tool to block one thing, but if I select another it stops working on the first one
Jellyfin works for me
You can use the dearrow extension to replace clickbait
Update in case anyone is interested: I figured out what caused the problem. When I mounted the new drive I used to store my configurations onto Proxmox, I completely forgot to make the relevant /etc/fstab entry. The drive mounted successfully so I didn’t realize at the time that I had forgotten to do that step. The update I ran from apt-get included a kernel update, so I restarted the machine to complete it. Since I hadn’t modified fstab, my new drive was not mounted when the system started up again. Even though the drive wasn’t mounted correctly, I still somehow had access to some incomplete version of the files in its directory (no idea how that works). So no fault of Docker, LXCs or Proxmox, purely PEBKAC.
Despite getting the files back I will still work towards a more resilient system and more regular backups.
