You don't have to, but docker + docker-compose is excellent for getting a development stack setup with extremely little effort (and other tooling you may need) - such as postgres/mysql/redis/mongodb/couchdb/jenkins/etc...

You don't need to learn how to build containers. Just the basics of how docker works.

Also it allows you to run a bunch of services with little resources and minimal config. I have a OVH $7/mo VPS running

- reverse proxy (traefik) - 2 web apps - jenkins - postgres - riemann - thumbor (thumbnailing service)
