To install Open-VPN on a server I followed these commands:
Install Ansible and Git:
sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip git rsync ansible
Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/d3vilh/openvpn-aws
Then enter the repository directory:
cd openvpn-aws
Install requirements:
ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml --force
If you see ansible-galaxy: command not found, you have to relogin and then try again.
Make copies of the configuration files and modify them for your environment:
yes | cp -p example.config.yml config.yml
Run the following command to add the docker group if it doesn't exist and add user to the docker group:
sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
Relogin now to apply group changes.
`Double check that ansible_user is correct for inventory.yml. Nee`d to run installtion on the remote server - follow the recomendations in config file.
`nano inventory.yml`, save the file - `Ctrl+O` and `Ctrl+X` to exit.
Run installation playbook:
sudo ansible-playbook main.yml
After following all instructions for installing OpenVPN, I encountered this error.

I've been trying different solutions to install OpenVPN, but I haven't been successful. I've searched online for instructions on using Docker files and changing parameters in the openvpn_ubuntu.yml file, but they haven't been helpful. Do you have any ideas on how I can properly install OpenVPN?
This is the line 37 to 40 of this file mentioned in the error:
