Install Docker task fails if Docker version is another more recent version is already installed, i.e. Docker is going to be downgraded) about ansible-docker HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi,

Currently Ansible doesn't support the --allow-downgrades option. Technically you could get around this by using force: True on the task that installs the package but I'm not sold on doing that.

In the mean time, the quickest way to get around this would be to run sudo apt-get remove --purge docker-ce on the box and then re-run this role.

That's what I did. Then I modified docker_version to "18.03.1".

I also ran into the same problem as described here (see duplicate issue #26). Just an idea: Wouldn't it make sense to take the latest version from the repository as long as the variables docker_version and docker_compose_version are not set actively. At least this is what I naively expected 🤕
