Plex Server not aware of metadata or media

Server Version#: 1.19.4.2935

Hi all, first time poster. I ran into an issue recently and am hoping for some help.

I run Plex natively in LXC with ubuntu 18.04. I restarted my proxmox server and it got hung shutting down the container. After 15 minutes, I had to perform a hard shutdown.

When I powered the server back on, Plex was unaware off all media, metadata, etc. My libraries in Plex are empty even though the movie and tv files are still present. The Media and Metadata folders in Plex Media Server folder still contain all the data (serveral GBs worth). Is it possible to restore Plex to the original state it was in before this occured?

I also perform the following command daily and back up the results.

echo ".dump metadata_item_settings" | sqlite3 "$db_dir/com.plexapp.plugins.library.db" | grep -v TABLE | grep -v INDEX > /tmp/settings.sql

I am willing to clear up any confusion if this wasn’t clear enough. Any help would be appreciated!
