Wasn't there a big unresolved bug with CLN on pruned nodes?

Not done yet as it's still syncing, and thanks for the head up! The only info I found is here but not real solution for it... anyone knows if my intent is worth the time waiting for the sync?
Other apps I'd like to install
  • BTCpay server
  • LNbits
  • RTL

If you are OK with the tradeoffs this could be interesting: https://github.com/nbd-wtf/trustedcoin (by fiatjaf) and it's designed for CLN. Never tried it though

Shall I install it before BTCcore finish the sync? Not really that technical so maybe need some support here ...

You could install it alongside Bitcoin Core. Once it has synced you can pass user/password and it will use your bitcoind instead of remote blocks. Read the README, it's all there:
add-apt-repository ppa:lightningnetwork/ppa
apt update
apt install lightningd
mkdir -p ~/.lightning/plugins
echo 'disable-plugin=bcli' >> .lightning/config
cd ~/.lightning/plugins
wget https://github.com/nbd-wtf/trustedcoin/releases/download/v0.6.1/trustedcoin-v0.6.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xvf trustedcoin-v0.6.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz
cd
lightningd
