I just start using my homelab to host some new good services, and I want to know what is the approach of a docker setup, what is the best distro for? How to deploy them correctly? Basically I’m a real noob in this subject. Thank you

Well, that’s a new development. That used to be the go-to method they pushed. Thanks for pointing that out.
As for Docker Desktop being the top option, it would only be used for a “development environment” because why would you install that on a headless docker host for production? And after the horror stories I’ve heard of Windows and Mac versions of Docker Desktop, there isn’t a chance in hell I’d use it anyway.
So yes, going forward it looks like adding the repos and apt-get install are the way to go. Except, the convenience script was so… convenient.
Debian already has docker packaged. That’s more convenient.
With Debian not being a rolling release id think it is relevant to stay up to date with your container daemon. IMHO.
