We have a few old fly pg deployments on v1 and we are completely stuck, we are not able to restart these or migrate them to v2.

We cant seem to find a way to get that second VM to properly restart and begin to pass all its checks.

Error:

```auto
cmd/keeper.go:720 cannot get configured pg parameters {"error": "dial unix /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5433: connect: no such file or directory"}

ERROR cmd/keeper.go:1452 different local dbUID but init mode is none, this shouldn't happen. Something bad happened to the keeper data. Check that keeper data is on a persistent volume and that the keeper state files weren't removed

```

```auto
fly apps restart rotator-api-pg                                                                                                                                                                    
Error: postgres apps should use `fly pg restart` instead

fly pg restart                                                                                                                                                                                       
Error: command is not compatible with this image

```

Running the `fly migrate-to-v2` command returns this:

```auto
Error: 404: 404 page not found

```

App: `rotator-api-pg`

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
