Help request regarding the API version issue.

[freaking2man]

I've installed the latest version of docker-slim, but whenever I try to slim a base image, I keep getting an error saying my Docker client API version is 1.33—below the minimum required version of 1.44. However, I’ve double- and triple-checked, and my actual client API version is definitely 1.53 (confirmed via docker version --format '{{.Client.APIVersion}}').

What could be causing this discrepancy? Is docker-slim incorrectly detecting or reporting the API version?

The error is shown in the image below:

@freaking2man there's a flag to explicitly select the Docker API version you can use (it's the global --crt-api-version flag you specify before the command name). Another option is to use the DOCKER_API_VERSION environment variable. Alternatively you can use the latest release here, which default to a newer API version: https://github.com/mintoolkit/mint/releases/tag/1.41.8
