Have a Douk Audio Nobsound NS G05 which I think should be paired with 4-8 ohm speakers.
If I hook it to 12 ohm speakers, aside from loss of power, will anything go wrong?
As the input power supply voltage is variable, should I increase the supply voltage?

More voltage, up to the specified power limit, should help, but I really have no idea what other downsides their may be. At the very least the output filters will probably be sub-optimal.
Do you have a link to the specific amp you have? I couldn't find it searching the Douk Audio ebay store.

If you think 12 ohm speakers are bad idea what (cheap sevond hand or kit) amp would you recommend?

The only downside will be lower power output and rising response on the high end due to sub-optimal output filter values.
At a rough guess that amp probably outputs something like 20 or so clean watts into 8 ohm . Driving 12 ohms there's the chance it will clip on dynamic peaks and as others have said with cheap class D high frequency distortion becomes an issue . The ideal load for most is around 6 ohm which gives the best balance with HF . What are the speakers you have as a matter of interest ?
