I'm hosting an instance of appwrite since months and updated to 1.8.0 couple of weeks ago. Everything worked fine, but today I noticed that my server is lagging very much. Checking the system I see that the appwrite mariadb container is using 99% of cpu and memory. Even after restart. Nothing besides me is using the server or the appwrite instance. It's just some basic projects I'm working on but really really small. I'm using appwrite for a while now and never noticed something like this. I also don't thing is directly connected to updating to version 1.8.0. Any idea what to do about it?

TL;DR
Appwrite mariadb container is consuming high CPU and memory. The issue may be related to an error message indicating that the Docker client version is too old. Upgrade the Docker client to a newer version to resolve this issue.

Could it be related to this log level=error msg="Failed to retrieve information of the docker client and server host: Error response from daemon: client version 1.24 is too old. Minimum supported API version is 1.44, please upgrade your client to a newer version" providerName=docker
