Almost everything worth permanently keeping in a typical Koha system is
stored in the database. Is MySQL/MariaDB running and can you get a
mysqldump? If not, are there at least database files present in
/var/lib/mysql?

A current copy of the database could be imported into a fresh install of
Koha (either in a new VM or after a wipe and recreation of the existing one
- though if you do a wipe, triple-check that your database export is good!).

Regards,

Galen
