Browsertrix deployment stalls when initializing container migrations

Checking again today, I have now upgraded to browsertrix version 1.17.1 via helm, and still have the same problem with the backend pods not initializing.

Similar to this error, I’m getting a cycle of ‘connection accepted’ / ‘connection ended’ log messages in the local-mongo-0 pod.
