Hey, sorry for the confusion Preston. The "recovery" terminology in LND is a bit confusing, and perhaps we need to do a better job of describing what is happening in our Lightning Node app.
When you "recover your channels", what this does is **recover your channel balances on-chain**. Channel recovery is meant to be used in a disaster scenario where your Lightning node goes down permanently and you have no way to close your open channels.
So what happened is that:
- you entered the mnemonic from your old node, which restored your on-chain funds (aezeed wallet).
- Then when you used your encrypted channel backup file, what this did was cause peers to force close their open channels with you, which returns your channel funds to your on-chain wallet.
Detailed explanation of channel recovery: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/docs/recovery.md#off-chain-recovery
Does your balance line up correctly with this in mind?
Nope 😉. If all you do is add your NIP05 or npub, your private relay will receive events from public relays you are connected to.
You can see the size of all your apps from your Dashboard. Just go to Settings and click "View usage" under Storage.
Storing your Nostr events is going to be a teeny tiny blip compared to an unpruned Bitcoin node!

ah, no it will just be for Umbrel Home
Absolutely! Support for custom install on your own hardware is here to stay.
Yep, we're shipping an OS update next month that will feature a migration assistant to transfer all apps and data with click.
Testing #[0] on #[1] 😉
