Alby Hub is an open-source, self-custodial Bitcoin Lightning wallet, with the easiest-to-use Lightning Network node for everyone. Whether you're an individual, creator, or developer, Alby Hub is your centre for seamless Bitcoin payments. Effortlessly connect to a variety of apps like the Alby Browser Extension or Alby Go mobile app, create sub-wallets for family and friends, and take full control of your funds—all within an intuitive interface and developer-ready APIs.
The script for individual use needs to be fixed.
There is no easy way to shut down Albyhub without doing a lot of research.
This corrupts the SQL lite database and then it becomes unrecoverable. Speaking from experience. Please make a way to shut down that is obvious for morons like me.
Hey, where do you self-host? And do you mean just turning off the Hub from Settings, or aut-close of all channels? Happy to learn your pain
I was doing it on Linux. I downloaded the script and ran it. It worked great. I used my browser to interact. I would leave my terminal up while I ran it to see the verbose activity. Unfortunately I would shut down via the button in the node settings and the script would still be running. I did Ctrl+c to stop. After a while the node data became corrupted and unusable. After much research I found that I had to shut down the service a different way.
Eventually I gave up and went back to using it on Start9 but only after losing sats from one insurance and not closing the channels. They still are open on counter party and I couldn't identify them if you held a gun to my head. The second try I shutdown the channels by accident and was able to recover on chain.
I still have the keys from the first instance so I will check in a year if the channels have closed and made it home on chain
I hope this makes sense. In the Albyhub folder an executable for shutting down might be nice like the update script.
Or even an Albyhub-cli with just a few commands like update, shutdown, verbose, status.
In summary. Stupid people like me will use the technology and we need lots of direction and help. We are too cheap to pay for a service because we don't want to be stupid. We want to be smart.
If you need to hire an idiot to break things and document the process I'm available.
As always,
