I am running the dlandon container for Zoneminder in Unraid.... on or around June 25, Zoneminder was failing to start... Upon reviewing the logs, it looks like I have a corrupt database based on the information that DLandon mentioned in his support forum on unraid. His advice was to ask for help here.

Here is what the logs are showing:

And essentially, ZM will quit as it cannot talk to the DB. I do have access to the DB folder on unraid, but of course, since the container stops, I cannot log into the console to run any commands per se. I can however drop to a console and navigate to the folder where the mariaDB is sitting and here is what it looks like:

Any ideas on what I can do? I had cameras defined and other jobs and I don't know how to recover or what steps I can take without starting all over again. I am fine with losing the videos, but all the settings and jobs and the setup I had, I would like to recover...
