Additional info

I know updating docker version can resolve this but accoding to README, Using Buildx with Docker requires Docker engine 19.03 or newer. I'm using 20.10.24 which should be supported.

I just ran into this problem after upgrading the docker-compose-plugin from 5.0.2-1~debian.12~bookworm to 5.1.0-1~debian.12~bookworm:

Error response from daemon: client version 1.53 is too new. Maximum supported API version is 1.41

Downgrading the API version used with export DOCKER_API_VERSION=1.41 fixed the error, but I still had other errors until I downgraded the plugin back to 5.0.2.

In case others are having this problem, until I rolled back to 5.1.0 I was unable to start containers (via docker compose up) that were connected to multiple networks. The error was:

 Error response from daemon: Container cannot be connected to network endpoints: test_net_frontend, test_net_backend

I'm not sure if this was because of the forced downgrade of the API version (to get around the API error), or if it's a regression in the plugin itself.
