I’m personally a fan of the red hat docs and how-to’s on podman over the mixed bag of tech bro medium articles I associate with docker.
At the end of the day this is a bit of a Pokemon starter question. If your top priority is to get a reasonably common and straightforward job done just pick one and see where it takes you! :)

:) you don’t have to use containers, but they do simplify the install.
I don’t use containers.
There’s also no Setup.exe to download run where you just Next, Next, Finish.
So, instead, I have to install separate packages, configure them, deal with conflicting requirements, etc…
Did I have to learn Docker? No. Did I have to learn something else? Yes.
As someone else mentioned, spending some time learning what / how / why you’re doing will help massively later on. Probably why you’re getting Docker answers, they’re auto-suggesting it to start you off with something simpler…

Fella, you have a huge knowledge deficit for what you’re trying to do here…
Docker does make running services easier and isn’t overkill for what you’re doing. But it’s not necessary and it’s fine if you don’t want to use it.
Debian is fine as well.
You need to get some experience before you continue self-hosting. Start firing up some vms or something. If that seems like “too much work” then perhaps this hobby isn’t for you. Running servers isn’t like grabbing an app from the app store. You’re going to need to invest some time here.
