Hi, I have VPS **Ubuntu** with some PHP software as **SMF** a **nd WP** , **Webmin** using, **Apache** and **MSQL**.
Can I add Discourse or it requires server for itself?

Sounds like you should follow this tutorial:

You basically need to do two things: Install HAProxy (or an alternative) which will take over port 80 and then divert your Discourse traffic to your docker container, and all your other sites to your usual Apache set-up. Let Apache know which port to listen for. While this is only a rough guide, it should do a good job of pointing you in the right direction. Let’s get star…

It’ll be easiest on a server by itself. It’s not too hard to configure apache as a reverse proxy as @erlend_sh suggests, but it might be tricky to do that with webmin in the mix.

Thanks, @Sogge Heggen, so it can be done but for me it looks to much.
@Jay Pfaffman, Yes, It looks much simpler on its own.
Fast answers 🙂
