In most cases, you won't need to worry about the Ansible version.
The playbook will try to detect it and tell you if you're on an unsupported version.
To manually check which verison of Ansible you're on, run: `ansible --version`.

The above command tries to mount an SSH key (`$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa`) into the container (at `/root/.ssh/id_rsa`).
If your SSH key is at a different path (not in `$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa`), adjust that part.
If you don't use SSH keys for authentication, simply remove that whole line (`-v $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa:/root/.ssh/id_rsa:ro`).
Once you execute the above command, you'll be dropped into a `/work` directory inside a Docker container.
The `/work` directory contains the playbook's code.
You can execute `ansible-playbook` commands as per normal now.
### If you don't use SSH keys for authentication
If you don't use SSH keys for authentication, simply remove that whole line (`-v $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa:/root/.ssh/id_rsa:ro`).
To authenticate at your server using a password, you need to add a package. So, when you are in the shell of the ansible docker container (the previously used `docker run -it ...` command), run:
```bash
apk add sshpass
```
Then, to be asked for the password whenever running an `ansible-playbook` command add `--ask-pass` to the arguments of the command.
