Hello selfhosted community, something weird just happened to my setup while running a routine update.

I'm running docker containers on a couple Debian LXCs through Proxmox, and a regular apt-get upgrade just wiped all my configurations. Somehow it seems to have gutted my databases and deleted the compose.yml files without a trace remaining. Thankfully all my data seems to be intact as far as I can tell.

Did I royally mess something up in all of my configurations or in doing the update? This has never happened to me before. Thankfully I have a backup for the configs that's about 6 days old, but it's still extremely annoying. Any hints? Thanks

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!
