Before using Docker, we basically need to ssh into servers and install dependencies according to the documents.

There's an entire cottage industry of not-docker tools for that. Not to take anything from docker but the options aren't 'docker' and 'the pre-docker dark ages where you ssh'ed into servers one by one and carefully typed commands from a faded printout'.

Not the least of which are the distros own packaging systems (e.g. rpm/yum or dpkg/apt). Full investment in the complexity of the ecosystem isn't even necessary for basic dependency handling.

Yes, I know. I just personally didn't learn to use Chef or Ansible, etc. back then. Now I use Ansible as well as Docker. Like it so far.
