[FEATURE REQ] Add Alby Hub
What & why
As a user, I want to be able to install Alby Hub so that I:
- don't rely on Tor anymore to connect to my node from remote
- can connect my node to other apps via NWC
- can easily source receiving capacity by buying a channel from a listed LSP
- have a lightning address
How
Provide Alby Hub as an app to install on minibolt
Additional context
Alby Hub is available on many other node distributions platforms like RaspiBlitz, Umbrel and Start9. It is very ressource-efficient. It works with an own node (LDK) or can connect to LND.

Hi,
Sorry for the delay in my response 🙏
I replied to you by email as well. As I have told you over there, of course, I thought about adding Alby Hub to MiniBolt, already on the roadmap --> https://github.com/orgs/minibolt-guide/projects/1?pane=issue&itemId=119480896.
I found these bare-metal (DIY) options:
- https://github.com/getAlby/hub/tree/master/scripts/linux-x86_64#installation-non-docker ... I could try to extract the needed complete commands from here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getAlby/hub/master/scripts/linux-x86_64/install.sh
- https://getalby.com/nwc/server --> Simply download and execute the binary:
wget https://getalby.com/install/hub/server-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2orwget https://github.com/getAlby/hub/releases/download/v1.18.2/albyhub-Server-Linux-x86_64.tar.bz2(for x86_64) //wget https://github.com/getAlby/hub/releases/download/v1.18.2/albyhub-Server-Linux-aarch64.tar.bz2(for arm64, eg RPi)tar -xvjf server-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2//tar -xvjf albyhub-Server-Linux-x86_64.tar.bz2//tar -xvjf albyhub-Server-Linux-aarch64.tar.bz2./bin/albyhub
If you know of any more complete guides to build Alby Hub in bare-metal mode (Linux commands step by step), let me know; that would make things easier for me. We need to go in line with the MiniBolt architecture: Install, Configure, and Start/Stop (using systemd), nothing more.
Thank you for your suggestion and contribution 🙏
