No, only the machine _where you want Docker to run_ must be a 64bit arch. Since your Discourse will be running on a server in a datacenter far, far away, your laptop’s arch has nothing to do with it. For a basic Discourse setup, your laptop needs

- a good browser, I’d recommend Firefox or Chrome,
- an SSH client, [PuTTY](http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html) if you’re on Windows,
- an email client, unless you can access your emails through the web.

And that’s it. 🙂
