I already have my discourse site on DigitalOcean. (Paid to install. 😄)  
But I am trying to install on my country’s VPS service. (DigitalOcean is pretty much slow in my country)

So I just bought new VPS, and I believe hardware requirements for Discourse are OK.  
But I am not sure about Software Requirements: Postgres 9.1+, Redis 2.6+, Ruby 1.9.3+.  
(I have no idea about Docker because I am not a programmer. I knows only basics about HTML, PHP, JS…)

The questions is… “Installing Discourse with Docker” means:

1. I don’t have to install Postgres, Redis, and Ruby things (Docker will cover all the software required.)
2. I should install Postgres, Redis, and Ruby first, then install Discourse with Docker.

So newbie’s question, help me please.
