If you just follow the documentation [1], it "just works". I just installed it on my machine, everything was up and running within 3-5 minutes. They even wrote a setup script that saves you from the mind-boggling complexity of docker, giving you a simple menu where you only have to read the items and press a key. If you don't know which key to press, the readme [1] is very helpful. The only place where you will have to "fiddle" with the environment files is to change the default port from 80 to another. And if you're not ready for that, or not skilled enough to understand what that means and why you might need to do it - you're not ready for self-hosting and should take a step back and learn the basics of OS administration. Oh, and they mention nginx because this software uses nginx inside a container. Hope that answers your question.
