After shutting down the Start9 and moving to Umbrel i've finally set back up an Alby Hub. What an amazing job they've done with that software, absolute pleasure and simple to set up.

I need to read up on proper back ups though 😂 the 12 words cleary didn't keep my channel and balance, user error on my behalf. My next task is to read about the back up and restore process.

Why shut down Start9 ?

There's no easy photo sync method on Android other than nextcloud which I'm not a fan of. Umbrel has Immich and Tailscale which seems more like what I need at my current level of knowledge at self hosting.

I will consider moving back to Start9 once remote connections are made easier in the next release and if an option similar to Immich or Immich become available.

Very well

Hey thanks for the follow!

And, you’ve inadvertently given me a lot to think about. I’ve been eyeballing a Start9 server but now I’ve got a better idea of considerations to make

🫡 Start9 still goat and I will likely come back with their next release. Umbrel works though and currently has a hand full more quality of life features for my use case.

Understood! I really appreciate the information 🫡

I didn’t try umbrel. I still use start 9.

Both teams have done a great job, you can't go wrong with either. Slightly more choice of services and remote connection options on Umbrel currently but I prefer Start9's ethos

I’ll give it a try, one day.

I think lightning channels will always force-close on a node migration. Am I right?

depends on what the channel partner has set as their conditions for it, usually they won't close you after even a day offline
