Reconstruct Docker containers config from a running machine? (kbin.social)

Hi! I've inherited a machine installed by somebody else who's no longer in the company or the country. The machine is running just fine, but i see no Dockerfiles or docker-compose.yml, and this looks like something that came from a Compose file with a few linked containers.

Is it possible to reconstruct that info from the running containers? I'm still a raw Docker newbie at this point so i don't know if this is even possible, would be helpful not to have to try and contact the person who set it up.

docker inspect <container_id> tells you everything about the container in json format.
