What does your web interface show? It seems like the DB initiation did not happen during the installer steps.

Does /install still work if you visit it? Installing LibreNMS - LibreNMS Docs check carefully you’ve followed each step in order.

You are also on an old PHP version, so will not be getting new updates - if you can move up to PHP 8.1 and try again it would be advisable.
