Your Benefits:

Very resource efficient: Requires minimal storage capacities
Just go to the App Store and install Alby Hub, with no requirements or other app installed previously. It'll work "right out of the box".
Note: If you’ve already installed the Lightning Node app on Umbrel, follow these steps instead:
You can either choose Get started (LND) or "Advanced Setup". Click “Advanced Setup”
Connect your Alby account or choose “Maybe Later”
Click “Create Wallet with Custom Node”
Set a password
Select the “LDK” option
Option 2: Alby Hub using Umbrel's Lightning App (LND) as its funding backend.
Just go to the Umbrel's App Store, then look for the Alby Hub under the "Bitcoin" Section. You need Bitcoin core & Lightning App already installed. Click on Alby Hub & Install.
Start9
Just go to the Start9 Marketplace, then look for the Alby Hub under the "Lightning" Section. Install.
