Thanks, here's my problem. I finally got Core Lightning running and connected so that I can collect sats from my Bitaxe mining on Ocean. (lightning payouts require Core Lightning). I cannot add Alby Hub in Umbrel without an LND lightning node. I've seen dire warnings about trying to run two different lightning nodes on an Umbrel. I'd like to try Alby with a Cashu backend but I don't know how. Is it feasible to run Alby Hub on a laptop that is not kept running all the time? My home laptop is a Linux Mint device.

Yes, check out the “Deploy it yourself” section here: https://github.com/getAlby/hub

There’s a script that makes it easy to get going on a Linux server. Since it’s something more experimental (and for the kids), you can just turn it on whenever you want to make it available.

Excuse my density, but the documentation refers to a server. Do I need to partition part of my hard drive and install as root?

Hm I don’t think so. I have mine running on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (i.e. not the server version). Whenever you want to start Alby Hub, go to the folder where it’s installed and run ./start.sh
