 +===== unsupported locale setting =====
 +
 +  ERROR: Ansible could not initialize the preferred locale: unsupported locale setting
 +
 +This might happen when you ssh into a server which doesn't have your locale generated (the one you are using on your local machine) and you are forwarding the locale over ssh (see ''SendEnv'' and ''AcceptEnv'' in ssh_config and sshd_config on your machine and server respectively).
 +
 +Fix is to simply generate the locale:
 +  vi /etc/locale.gen
 +uncomment your locale e.g.
 +  hr_HR.UTF-8
 +
 +Then run
 +  locale-gen
 +
 +
 +===== an unexpected keyword argument 'cert_file' =====
 +<code>
 +[WARNING]: Skipping Galaxy server https://old-galaxy.ansible.com/. Got an unexpected error when getting available versions of
 +collection community.docker: Unknown error when attempting to call Galaxy at 'https://old-galaxy.ansible.com/api':
 +HTTPSConnection.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'cert_file'. HTTPSConnection.__init__() got an unexpected keyword
 +argument 'cert_file'
 +ERROR! Unknown error when attempting to call Galaxy at 'https://old-galaxy.ansible.com/api': HTTPSConnection.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'cert_file'. HTTPSConnection.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'cert_file'
 +</code>
 +
 +Try a different (newer) ansible version.
 +
 +===== "msg": "MODULE FAILURE: No start of json char found\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error" =====
 +
 +This is also possibly a mismatch with ansible versions and older python on target hosts. Try a different, older ansible version if running against older OS-es.
