[rookie mistake] Completely redid sys-whonix - Can't get Tor Controller to connect since update

I updated the whonix-gateway-17 template recently (yes, dom0 is up to date). After which, I simply could not get the whonix gateway to connect. 50_user.conf is empty and as you can see I completely remade the whonix gateway. What am I doing wrong?

This will not be the last issue with whonix-gateway-17 since it is outdated. Run in Dom0:

qvm-template install whonix-gateway-18
