Hi Raphael, Is the host you are trying to delegate the task to part of your inventory?
My next try would be to add this host in the inventory and specify the custom port for this particular host as a host variable. An example can be found here: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/intro_inventory.html#assigning-a-variable-to-one-machine-host-variables I hope that helps!
