+## Version mismatch
+
+You may encounter an error like this:
+
+```text
+client is newer than server (client API version: 1.24, server API version: 1.23)
+```
+
+To fix this, you have to either supply the exact version your server supports
+when instantiating the `Client`:
+
+```python
+client = docker.Client(version="1.23")
+```
+
+or let the client automatically detect the newest version server supports:
+
+```python
+client = docker.Client(version="auto")
+```
