Nostr Web Client

yes, sure! that's what we build it for.

In the extension you use the NWC connection right now for this.

Add a new connection in the Hub with the permissions you like. then go to the Extension and "connect a wallet", "find your wallet" and use NWC.

Having set up an own AlbyHub (on Desktop), I was still required to create an getalby.com account which i didn't have. I had thought that "AlbyHub" gives me essentially a self-hosted version of the getalby.com - which I can run under my own domain.

So the stack is as follows (plz correct me if I'm wrong!):

1) getalby.com Account is always required. This acts as the "management UI" of my underlying hub

2) Alby Hub: that's the backend server my mandatory getalby.com Account connects to (through NWC). I can self-host, or use the alby cloud one.

3) LN Node: that is funding source beneath the Alby Hub. Can be bring-your-own-node (LND, CLN, phoenixd, any node via NWC ), embedded (LDK), external (Breezsdk, Greelight) and connects via the methods the my chonse implementation supports: gRPC, REST, NWC etc.

If so, then I know where my confusion came from. My natural association with the term "Hub" is essentially "management UI", i.e. 1).

What you call "AlbyHub" , I would call "Alby Server".

let me know if i got this correct

Yes, this is pretty much correct, yes!

one little addition:

2 and 3 can be the same.

Alby Hub comes with a default embedded LDK based lightning node - or Alby Hub can be used with an existing LND, phoenixd,..

Alby Hub exposes NWC - apps can connect using NWC to the hub (whch is also what getalby.com) does)

The Hub implements the node part either embedded or external (LND)

How does backup of the embedded LDK node work? Does one need to save the channel.db a la LND/CLN , or is the seed phrase enough?
