Windows got nuked. How to setup immich again

My windows install got nuked. Had to reinstall. Have all immich files stored on I:Photo Library (env points to that). Got all relevant config and docker compose files saved. However when I restart all containers, Immich no longer realizes that there's any photos. What to do?

did you backup the database in Immich?

I don't believe so as windows install got fried suddenly. I/photo library has all the files and generared thumbnails et al

Then the only way to restore is to reupload all the photos and videos from the library folder to a new instance using the CLI tool
