How do I adapt this Ansible playbook for Docker 25 RPM on RHEL?

Tweak paths to /tmp/docker_build, patterns: "docker-25.*.rpm", src: "/opt/docker/{{app_version}}", dest: "/usr/bin/docker" or service symlinks. Test in Vagrant.

Does this handle multiple RPM versions or failures?

Nope, grabs first file, no retries. Add loops, until: failed_when false.

Is disable_gpg_check safe for production Docker installs?

Hell no — repo signing or import keys first. Prod mandates it.
