I have managed to break my own server, and undo months of work.
The thing is, I hosted a nextcloud instance on the server, and had it configured to use WasabiS3 as primary storage, which means the data is still intact.
However, the files are stored in a urn:oid format, which means without the database, the data is pretty much useless.
I need to recover the database that contains the filetable, but I cannot connect to pgsql.
After restoring the corrupted folder to /var/lib/postgresql/12/main, I have successfully managed to start the postgresql server.
Trying to log in using the pgsql command, however, this error is encountered.
psql: error: FATAL: "base/16408" is not a valid data directory
DETAIL: File "base/16408/PG_VERSION" is missing.
And, the directory /var/lib/postgresql/12/main/base/16408 is indeed empty.
However, I would at least like to restore part of the database if that is possible.
Is this a possibility?
Thanks in advance.
