I had self custodial zaps set up, LN channels were closed on me and haven’t found a good peer to set up again with. Any suggestions?

Oof yea channel management is tricky. I've been meaning to try an Alby Hub + phoenixd combo to get around this. I think nostr:nprofile1qqsrxra3gv0lnkxz2pcxh0xuq9k4f9dr7azwq3aypqtnay4w0mjzmtqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqz8thwden5te0dehhxarj94c82c3wwajkcmr0wfjx2u3wdejhghqs4nu and they have been trying to get folks to help package this for umbrel/start9 etc and Raspiblitz may already have it (cc nostr:nprofile1qqs24sraj5yfee4d7z9ez4k58sdy4dv5ccfsklwtztkpnyqgckqe5tcpyfmhxue69uhk6atvw35hqmr90pjhytngw4eh5mmwv4nhjtnhdaexcep0qyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytngw4eh5mmwv4nhjtnhdaexcep04cexmf?)
Also, what about cashu options like nostr:nprofile1qqstxwlea9ah3u6kjjszu6a7lrnhqkfh8eptp2z6v0e9558tlkkl2rgpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpremhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet59u4kl3vp? They're not self-custodial, but there's pretty good privacy guarantees for small amounts, and you can sweeping to self-custody once your balance gets to a certain level
Run Alby Hub it comes with good default peers/LSPs to get channels with.
Would love to hear your feedback.
Alby Hub is not yet on the Raspiblitz, just doing the basic research: https://github.com/raspiblitz/raspiblitz/issues/4727.
Going through the docs it seems the best self-hosted option is to deploy on a VPS with a public IP address readily available: https://github.com/getAlby/hub/tree/master/scripts/linux-x86_64
The other option is using an instance of LNbits with the upcoming NWCprovider extension: https://github.com/riccardobl/nwcprovider
Soon to be in a new LNbits release: https://github.com/lnbits/nostrrelay/issues/13. There can also use phoenixd and Blink nostr:npub13ljnkd633c7maxatymv3y2fqq8vt3qk7j3tt0vytv90eztwgha9qmfcfhw as well as the funding source.
