We have a Discourse installation built from sources in 2016 and we need to move it to a different machine. Is an upgrade to modern Discourse running in docker possible? If it isn’t I am going to try get that version working but am running into assorted problems.

Hey David, welcome to Meta 
What version is the old installation running on?
If it’s a very old version, then I would recommend taking a backup, creating a new staging server following the official guide, and then restoring the backup there. If everything works as expected, then you’re all set and you can create a new production server following the same guide and then restore the backup there.
If not, please feel free to post any issues you encounter and we’ll try to help
