is it always a good practice installing LN node apps via Docker, if i wanna run a node in a LCI based OS instead of Umbrel or StratOS

I guess it depends on your preferences, docker is probably easier to manage (updating, restarting etc..) than native. I run bitcoind native and some services using it in docker containers.

Nix Bitcoin is also a really cool concept https://nixbitcoin.org/

like some super easy and steady apps as bitcoind in native and some frequently maintained ones in docker? is this nix a kind of bunched docker for all mentioned apps?

Yeah, my setup just evolved like this, not sure if it makes that much sense like this. Nix bitcoin doesn't use docker, it uses nix which is essentially a text config file (like dockerfile) which the OS uses to build itself Kind of
