@veritasium,

an option is to create a ansible.cfg file in your project directory.

/my\_project  
|\_ansible.cfg

another option is, if you have a collections folder in your project directory with a requirements.yml.  
you can add a source in it.

## /my\_project | |\_/collections |\_requirements.yml

## requirements.yml

collections:

- name: community.general  
version: 7.4.0  
source: [https://old-galaxy.ansible.com](https://old-galaxy.ansible.com)

it worked for me but not a long-term solution because at some point this [https://old-galaxy.ansible.com](https://old-galaxy.ansible.com) will have EOL.
