Hey there! I had this same issue but i had to wait for ~5 mins for everything to start then trigger a redeploy on Property Defs Rs. That fixed it!

I'd like to add that this is actually part of their self hosting instructions!
"We will need to wait ~5-10 minutes for things to settle down, migrations to finish, and TLS certs to be issued"
