 If your distro ships with an Ansible version older than this, you may run into issues. Consider [Upgrading Ansible](#upgrading-ansible) or [using Ansible via Docker](#using-ansible-via-docker).
 
+> [!WARNING]
+> One reason for the version requirement being as such is that the playbook by default installs Docker for you using [this Docker role](https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-docker) which [has a hard requirement on Ansible v2.15.1](https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-docker/commit/7f44a1d9ad8132819ea9852918bca5dab8757cd0). If you install Docker yourself another way, you can tell the playbook to skip running this role (by adding `matrix_playbook_docker_installation_enabled: false` to your `vars.yml` configuration). It may then be possible to get the playbook running on an older version of Ansible. Still, this is a complication and your mileage may vary. We recommend [upgrading Ansible](#upgrading-ansible) instead of going into uncharted territory.
