Hi all,

running latest drone docker an a Synology NAS. On my latest deployment I am receiving the following error message:

```
deployment: Error response from daemon: client version 1.40 is too new. Maximum supported API version is 1.39

```

docker version gives:

```auto
Client:
 Version: 18.09.8
 API version: 1.39
 Go version: go1.11
 Git commit: bfed4f5
 Built: Fri Mar 13 06:46:11 2020
 OS/Arch: linux/amd64
 Experimental: false

Server:
 Engine:
  Version: 18.09.8
  API version: 1.39 (minimum version 1.12)
  Go version: go1.11
  Git commit: 3a371f3
  Built: Fri Mar 13 06:44:35 2020
  OS/Arch: linux/amd64
  Experimental: false

```

Is there any chance to put a DOCKER\_API\_VERSION ([Use the Docker command line | Docker Docs](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/cli/#environment-variables)) somewhere to get it work?

Thanks for your help 🙂

You can use any `DOCKER_` variables with Drone, no code changes needed. Drone uses the official Go client for Docker which automatically reads all `DOCKER_` variables. This variable should be passed to the runner, which is where the Docker client code exists.
