CRITICAL: Appwrite 1.8.1 - Traefik Returns 404 Due to Docker API Version Mismatch

Problem: Fresh Appwrite 1.8.1 installation returns 404 on all requests. Traefik can't communicate with Docker daemon.
Error:
Error response from daemon: client version 1.24 is too old.
Minimum supported API version is 1.44
Environment:

Docker: 27.4.1
Appwrite: 1.8.1
Traefik: 2.11 (from official docker-compose.yml)
Ubuntu 24.04

Symptoms:

curl http://127.0.0.1:9093/ → HTTP 404
All 25 containers running successfully
docker exec appwrite doctor shows all settings valid
Traefik logs constantly showing API version errors
Traefik cannot discover containers or routing rules

What I've tried:
❌ Adding DOCKER_API_VERSION=1.44 environment variable
❌ Adding --providers.docker.endpoint parameter
✅ Verified all configs, labels, and domain settings are correct
Root Cause:
Traefik 2.11 defaults to Docker API v1.24, but Docker 27.x requires minimum API v1.44
Question:
What's the recommended fix? Should I:

Upgrade to Traefik 3.x in docker-compose.yml?
Configure Traefik to use newer API version?
Downgrade Docker version?

Has anyone successfully run Appwrite 1.8.1 with Docker 27.x?

I have tried ways to somehow manually force traefik to latest but failed.
Anyone if they have faced the same or may have a workaround kindly do share
