You could create a VM with Ubuntu for example, and then from within the VM install Docker, and then Discourse using their Docker container. https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md

Not the normal installation

THX for the answer

But I changed to industry standard ESXi long ago, because all is running perfect out of the box without tinkering around for each project.
Further, for ESXi you get quick and effective support In contrast from here.
