Hi all,

to solve the problem of different versions of the api I need to provide this parameter to the docker module (like the module documentation states)  
for some reason I’m getting the following error though

msg: unsupported parameter for module: docker\_api\_version

how is this possible?

The most likely cause is that ansible is finding an older version of the module. Make sure any prior version of ansible is removed from the system and see if that works.
