Install Alby Hub on your personal server

Install Alby Hub on your personal server like Umbrel or Start9.

Umbrel

Option 1: Alby Hub self-custodial standalone app using its internal LDK node

Benefits of LDK version:

  1. Encrypted remote backups: recover your bitcoin, including all active channels, anytime

  2. Very resource efficient: Requires minimal storage capacities

If you don't have the Lightning Node app installed on Umbrel, just go to the App Store and install Alby Hub, with no requirements or other app installed previously. It'll work "right out of the box".

If you’ve already installed the Lightning Node app on Umbrel, follow these steps instead:

  1. You can either choose Get started (LND) or Advanced Setup. Click Advanced Setup.

  2. Connect your Alby Account or choose Maybe Later

  3. Click Create Wallet with Custom Node

  4. Set a password

  5. Select the LDK option

Option 2: Alby Hub using Umbrel's Lightning App (LND) as its funding backend

Just go to the Umbrel's App Store, then look for the Alby Hub under the Bitcoin section. You need Bitcoin node & Lightning App already installed and synced. Click on Alby Hub and Install.

Start9

Just go to the Start9 marketplace, then look for the Alby Hub under the Lightning section. Install.
