I tried upgrade my 2-container forum, but it fails. Any ideas why?

. Oh, and I will definitely take a site backup right NOW! 
Thank you for raising this. We have shared this with our internal teams to investigate - if we have any updates we will post here and in appropriate discussions 
). Gemini had me running in loops around sso/rails/redis etc based on the logs though. This is after I tried to upgrade but mentioning it under this point to keep this coherent.
