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! 🙏
