Unraid CA: Restoring Immich with a Database and Uploads Folder

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to read my question.
Context: Earlier today I experienced a power outage which resulted in a corrupted unraid os. As part of the recovery process, I reinstalled unraid.

Question 1: How do I restore [or reinstall] Immich, preserving metadata like albums.

Current Status: Unraid [7.1.4] and Docker function. All uploads and database dumps are still accessible on the data drives. Postgres will not initialize as the database folder already contains a database. I have made a backup of the most recent database dump and the entire /Uploads folder.

Question 2: Are the /Uploads folder and database dump all that is needed to restore immich [completely] from a fresh install? My current plan is to wipe and reupload assets, but I'm also concerned that stuff like user accounts and other settings might need to be remade.

Question 3: How complete will the Immich restore be with the the /uploads and database dump? Will it include user accounts in addition to albums and other metadata?

Thanks in advance for your replies.
