configured module search path = [‘/home/stack/.ansible/plugins/modules’, ‘/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]

ansible python module location = /home/stack/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible

executable location = /home/stack/.local/bin/ansible

python version = 3.6.7 (default, Oct 22 2018, 11:32:17) [GCC 8.2.0]

Hello-  
Without all the info, this looks similar to something I ran into. Try:

pip3 install docker

This will install the docker Python module for the version of Python that Ansible is using (3.6.7).

Better yet, have a task in your playbook install it prior to using the docker Ansible module. Using the pip Ansible module will install the correct version.
