Here was my solution to "fix" this problem as I did not have a recent working backup of /boot, let alone /boot/config, but my docker image file stored on the Array was still in-tact, so the info was available.
From a terminal, ssh into the unraid machine, run
docker inspect <container> > <container>.json
to save all the metadata from the docker image as a json file for each missing container you need to reconnect to a Community Apps profile. Optional step, but I wrote a simple python script to iterate over these files and extract the key suspects from each: Images, Binds, Network Mode, Port Bindings, Mounts, Environment Variables, and Labels. Still lots of extraneous data, but less work on these aging eyes.
You can then use TimTheSettler's method above to create a clone template of the app you're trying to recover the settings of and modify it manually to put in the details recorded by docker inspect, including the old container name as he says. Just remember to go into Settings > Community Apps and enable secondary instances of apps to be installed, otherwise you won't see the option. 😅
