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
docker run -d --name servicename --restart unless-stopped container
That’ll get you going. Youi’ll have containers running, they restart, etc. There are more sophisticated ways of doing things (create a systemd file that starts/stops the container, use kubernetes, etc.) but if you’re just starting this will likely work fine.

Are they starting automatically at boot?
EDIT : how do you run a container with a simple name instead of using his id?
Yes - they’ll start automatically. There are other options for “restart” that define the behavior.
You can give whatever you like to “servicename” and use that rather than the ID.
For example:
