Trouble Using Appwrite Sites on Self-Hosted Dokploy Deployment

Hi team,

I’m currently self-hosting Appwrite v1.7.4 using Dokploy (Compose Type: docker-compose) and everything in the deployment appears to be functioning — Console, workers, database, Redis, etc.

However, when I try to use the new Sites feature from the Console, I see this message:

Appwrite Sites is in high demand To ensure a smooth experience for everyone, we’re rolling out access gradually. Join the waitlist and be one of the first to deploy with Sites. [Join waitlist]

This seems to indicate that Appwrite Sites is not yet available, even though I’m hosting Appwrite on my own infrastructure.

Deployment Info: Appwrite version: appwrite/appwrite:1.7.4 Console version: appwrite/console:6.1.12 Platform: Dokploy (self-hosted via Docker Compose) Compose Type: docker-compose (not Swarm) Sites domain env set: _APP_DOMAIN_SITES=*.mydomain.tld Traefik reverse proxy: properly configured Volumes mounted: includes appwrite-sites

My Question: How can I enable or unlock Appwrite Sites for use on a self-hosted environment? Is the Sites waitlist enforced for all environments, including self-hosted? Is there a specific env var, volume, or console config I need to adjust? Is the gating purely frontend via console:6.1.12, or handled by Appwrite core/backend? Would love any help from the Appwrite team or community on this.

Thanks! 🙏

TL;DR
Developers are experiencing difficulty using Appwrite Sites on a self-hosted Dokploy deployment, as they are seeing a message indicating that Sites is not yet available. They are seeking guidance on how to enable or unlock Appwrite Sites for use in a self-hosted environment and if the Sites waitlist applies to all environments. The developers are also inquiring about specific configuration adjustments needed to access Sites and whether the gating is controlled via the frontend console version or the Appwrite core/backend.
