Manually downgrading the aws gems in the container did get the `uploads:migrate_to_s3` job to actually upload images so apparently the env variables wasn’t enough, as you pointed out.

However the process failed later at a different point:

```plaintext
FileStore::ToS3MigrationError: 2 posts are not remapped to new S3 upload URL. S3 migration failed for db 'default'. (FileStore::ToS3MigrationError)

```

That will be a separate troubleshooting adventure.
