Error connecting: Error while fetching server API version: HTTPConnection.request() got an unexpected keyword argument 'chunked'

The build docker container task gives an error:

TASK [Build docker image from Dockerfile] **********************************************************************************************
fatal: [local-container -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Error connecting: Error while fetching server API version: HTTPConnection.request() got an unexpected keyword argument 'chunked'"}

This is caused by a incompatibility between requests 2.29.0 and/or urllib3 2.0.0, according to ansible-collections/community.docker#611

While the details are not entirely clear to me, the docker module has a workaround in 3.4.5.

Since the docker module is part of the ansible community, I had to upgrade this. The ansible community modules are distrbuted as pip package ansible (https://pypi.org/project/ansible/). (Not to be confused with ansible-core, which contain the actual ansible executable). For me, ansible modules collection version 7.4.0 has this problem and ansible modules collection version 8.1.0 works fine.

So the solution is to:

# sudo pip install ansible --upgrade

or (since I use MacPorts to install ansible):

# sudo port selfupdate
# sudo port install py311-ansible
