Is this a set up where you don’t need to manage your own channels?
Self-custodial zapping works well with Alby Hub running on my home server and even moved my wife over as a subaccount without issues. Alby sunsetting their custodial wallet solution was the last push I needed to run my own node. Nice work, nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm ! nostr:note1jfdyun82x0cjx7q2ls9w69xutlyla9hmqq5jgn2mguxu78sk2yrqw34ck5

You do need to manage your own channels, but the management can be minimal. The default options give you about 1 million sats of inbound liquidity in a single channel. Most users won't need more than this, but the options for more advanced management are there.
With the self-custodial setup you need your own channel, Alby Hub provides integrates service providers to easily get your channel.
It's part of the onboarding and a one-click process, but has some upfront costs.
Don't be scared of managing your own channels. With typical usage you once get a channel to connect to the network and then it's on and works.
