The issue Docker solves for me is not the complexity or number of steps but the compatibility.

I built a service that is installed in 10 lines that could be ran through a makefile, but I assume specific versions of each library of the system and don’t intend to test against the hundreds of possible system dependencies combinations or assume it will surely be compatible anyway.

The dev running the container won’t building their own debian installs with the specific version required in my doc just to run the install script from there, they just instanciate the container and run with it.
