Updating caused the database to reset (1.73.0 -> 1.78.1)

Hi, apologies if this is a duplicate. I wasn't able to find a similar issue here.

Like the title says, I attempted to update immich. docker compose pull was successful. docker compose up -d initially gave me an error about insufficient permissions to stop a container, which later changed to "bind: address is already in use" when attempting to start immich-proxy. I (probably unwisely) killed the proxy service using sudo kill <pid>, and docker compose up -d then worked fine.
However, it appears immich either can't find the database or it disappeared. I was prompted to create a new admin account and none of my images, videos, settings or API keys are displayed (as if it were a fresh install). The images still do exist in my upload location.

What's my best course of action here? Should I do a bulk upload from the images that still exist, or is there a way to get my old database back?
