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

The Docker documentation is pretty terrible, but it's a decent start. Start by looking at docker-compose.yml files for the services you want to run and the write-ups for those.

Something nobody ever told me, that I had to figure out myself, is that docker-compose.yml files can be placed anywhere you want.

Should I make the docker compose files or pull the image from hub.docker.com?

Your compose file will pull the image when you run it, from the registry it's in
