This gets me on to installation steps much quicker. Takes care of Git, Docker installation, etc. Currently only tested on [https://hetzner.cloud](https://hetzner.cloud) but should work for others. Just need to skip the first block if using AWS or something like that where you don’t log in as root.

Not sure if I will have much more to add. But could be useful if this could complete a full basic installation of Discourse, by use of config templates.
