Ubuntu 14 is too old, and goes EOL in a bit. Discourse needs modern software, which is bundled together in the Docker image. I wouldn‘t bother looking into installing them by yourselves - if you cannot have Docker installed, it will be hard to get all the other applications from the container installed too.
