I have a VPS Essential in OVH with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS installed.

I just removed the set_hostname module of the cloud_init_modules from /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg and reboot the system and now I cannot connect to it, this is the line I removed but from other of my servers: ().

I tried to connect through SSH but is trowing timeouts and through the OVH manager panel with KVM and rescue reboot but seems is not working. When I tried to connect to he KVM but it tells me this: in the other hand, If I try to reboot the system this happens: .

I have a production env running on the server with a database that I cannot lost. It is possible to recover the system? or at least recover the hard disk data?

You should first contact OVH support. – Michael Hampton Jul 29 '20 at 19:40
For sure I did, but I wanted to know if at least is possible to recover from this situation – Nico Jul 29 '20 at 19:47
What did they tell you? – Michael Hampton Jul 29 '20 at 20:01
I'm still waiting for a response, btw it is possible to lost the connection of a VPS because of this? – Nico Jul 29 '20 at 20:06
Now I manage to get into Recovery mode through KVM, but when I reboot the system and I select the normal system to boot, it returns again to the recovery mode, do you know what is happening? – Nico Jul 29 '20 at 21:32
