I am thinking of [installing GitLab](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-gitlab-on-ubuntu-16-04) on a server.  
Can I use the same DO droplet where Discourse resides (assuming I add space/RAM as needed)? My impression is that that’s what Docker is all about? Or is it a Bad Idea?
